Hazril, Sabri and Noor Aquilah – FREQUENT ROUTE MAP FOR TRANSIT USERS IN KLANG VALLEY, MALAYSIA 2015

Description

This six-page academic paper, “Frequent Route Map For Transit Users In Klang Valley, Malaysia,” published in *Applied Mechanics and Materials* in 2015, presents a novel approach to enhance public transit information. Authored by researchers from Prasarana Malaysia Berhad, a key public transport operator, the study introduces the Frequent Route Map (FRM) concept. The paper proposes an intuitive GIS-based map format that visually represents public bus frequency using varying line thicknesses, alongside route connectivity. This innovation aims to reduce passenger waiting times and improve accessibility planning, directly addressing common feedback regarding bus scheduling. Featuring two illustrative GIS maps, the document is well-cited and provides a practical, open-access (CC BY license) framework for better passenger information systems, making it a valuable resource for urban planners and transit authorities seeking to improve user experience.
