Locating nearest public facility using IDA∗ algorithm

Abstract

Nowadays public transportation is needed given the current increasing transportation needs in the community because of the density of private vehicles that causes congestion everywhere. Given these reasons, currently people prefer to use public transportation to get to a location or perform daily life activities. But the problem is lack of information of public facilities and routes of available public transportation. This research will propose a system for searching public facility locations with implementation of IDA* algorithm. The input of this system is user's location from a mobile device and the output will be a list of routes that can be viewed in a map.
