Gap detection of bus stops using GIS/GPS

A research on bus stop gap detection is presented in this paper. Planning and development of bus stops required various considerations. Land availability, landuse, catchment, route matching, infrastructure fitting, barrier free and micro-climate friendly design are some of the factors heeded prior t...
