The Bus Information and Transfer System is based on ArcGIS Spatial Analysis. We used Network Analysis technology to analyze the attribute data of bus stops. According to different customer's behavior on transferring, a bus transferring formula was developed. The formula helps to find the shortest paths from start to destination to reduce waiting time of customers. For a web-GIS system that can widely apply to multiple fields, MapObjects was used with a DCOM/ActiveX-based Load Balancing component that was developed in this project. We proposed a method of load balancing for Web server clustering composed of Web Map Sever Sets that are based on GIS multi-threads mechanism. The mechanism is capable of assigning the requests to the most efficient web server to reduce response time. This project aims to provide a better service to users and promote the usability of bus service.
