PTEMS: a novel public transportation emergency management system based on GIS

Abstract

Nowadays, the public transportation safety situation continues to deteriorate, and malignant incidents occur sometimes. Therefore, there is great need for the improvement of safety levels by the authorities. To this end, we propose PTEMS, a novel public transportation emergency management system based on GIS, aiming to help the authorities solve the problem. The system is capable of collecting and managing extremely large amounts of monitoring data, enabling the emergency enforcement to respond to the incidents effectively. The validity and reliability of our design is demonstrated by its real-world deployment.
