Preference-Aware Public Transport Matching

With the rapid development of IoT devices, the information from the environment now can easily be collected and accumulated to provide useful services to the end users. In traditional transit system, the passenger waits for the arrival of the bus, but there is no assurance of seat. Sometimes, the bus is full of passengers, and the passenger needs to travel standing. If the travel time is higher, then the passenger's comfort is jeopardized during the travel from the source location to the destination. Alternatively, the passenger cannot know on the fly whether a little more waiting may ensure a seat in the next available transport. So, an efficient method is needed to ensure the seat in a transport facility along the passenger's trip. This paper introduces a transit matching method that finds transport with a consideration of the passenger's satisfaction.
