    Determine the Most Appropriate Public Transportation Modes to Travel at a Given Time by Considering the Time Schedules and Live Traffic
    (IEEE, 2018-10-04) Gamage, M. P. A. W; Aponso, A
    Transportation is a need of a human being. Mainly transportation is divided into public and private transportation. However, most people prefer to use private transportation modes because it is easy to use. However, the usage of private vehicles is a reason for many problems. Some of the common problems are road traffic, environment pollution, increased fuel usage, increased cost of traveling and parking problems. There are some reasons, which discourage people from using public transportation. One of the reasons is that there is no proper method to find appropriate public transportation modes to travel. The appropriate transportation modes have to be decided by considering factors such as time schedules, road traffic, distance, cost and comfortability. It is difficult for people to find out transportation modes by considering all of these factors. This creates the need for an application, which gives suggestions of public transportation modes based on these factors. Based on the study, an application for suggesting appropriate transportation modes was implemented. As a prototype, this solution covers only the public transportation of Sri Lanka. There are few existing applications and past researches similar to the application, but there are few limitations in these existing applications. Mainly these applications have been developed not considering the road traffic as a factor that influences the modes of traveling, and they have not covered Sri Lanka yet.

    (IEEE, 2021-01-27) Sharounthan, B; Nawinna, D. P; De Silva, R
    As the primary transportation mode in Sri Lanka, Public transportation is tightly attached with the daily life of the people. The important factor in transportation is providing a door to door mobility. This paper presents a study focused on measuring the service quality of public transportation based on the comments and feedbacks provided by the passengers with the aim of producing a better service for users. Comments were gained from social media and were used to produce a comprehensive rating mechanism to rate the transportation service providers. This tool was developed using natural language processing techniques using the data from the Sri Lankan context. With the popularity of Social Media in Sri Lanka, many people use Singlish (Sinhala written using English scripts) for online communication. The rating engine presented in this paper is capable of performing Sentiment analysis on comments given in Singlish Language in the Transportation domain.
