Abstract-Modern public transport is an integral part of Smart Cities. Every day,
millions of travellers use information about the current state of transport
systems to plan their journeys. As the number of smart devices in these systems
grows, so does the ability to provide more detailed information. These more
detailed types of data also include geographically accurate routes of lines, and
typically transport companies or coordinating authorities reach for solutions
from the routing domain to obtain this type of data. This also includes the
Integrated Transport System of the South Moravian Region (IDS JMK), where the
need to complement the information provided to passengers with the geographically
precise line routes has become apparent. However, the suitable data, which allows
direct use of routing in this transport system, including the second largest city
in the Czech Republic, did not exist. Thus, the purpose of this paper was to
verify whether it is possible, with the help of preprocessing and subsequent data
augmentation, to obtain geographically accurate line routes even from data
sources that were not originally intended for this purpose. As a result, a state
machine has been designed which, with the selected and implemented routing
algorithm, allows to determine the exact structure of individual lines. Obtaining
the exact structure of individual lines then enables the generation of
geographically accurate routes, which was tested within the implementation of the
proposed solution in cooperation with the coordinating authority for the IDS JMK,
the Kordis company.
