Abstract
This study aims to seamlessly integrate transit network with road network in GIS and searching the best transit path between origin and destination (OD). Unlike previous studies, the Transit Route Table and Connectivity Matrix no longer need to be built. The system uses dummy links to combine the road and transit networks to a single network which can represents the real world and traveler behaviors much more effectively so that the development and maintenance of database become easier. Because of the uniformity of its network topology, an ordinary shortest path searching algorithm can be embedded and utilized without any modification. By considering many factors that could affect the travelers' travel and using GIS platform, this system can provide users with friendly interfaces and display visual, feasible and precise results.
