Web Mapping Facilities for Transperth Journey Planner
Stage 1: 2003 Stage 2: ongoing

In the past Transperth’s website provided word-based journey descriptions and static maps, on-screen and in printed form, detailing the walking, public transport and interchange components for each journey.

The site now enables users a variety of sophisticated detail-they can locate and view comprehensive information, including walking routes, distances between points, all bus stops in the vicinity of their specified locations, and transport services available at any selected stop.

The superior interactivity of maps and the high level of integration between the journey planner and the associated maps make the iDelve Web Mapping System the ideal choice for the Transperth Journey Planner application.

iDelve facilities include live Tool Tips, instant feature selection and query, and smooth pan and zoom.

Most important, the system eliminates the ‘click-and-wait’ frustrations of traditional web mapping technologies.

This innovation also reduces the internet traffic requirements and can therefore reduce the costs of data management by eliminating the need to replicate data sets to overcome performance constraints.

The Transperth site has also had favourable reviews including:

Directions Magazine

Location Technology & Business Intelligence Information & Conferences

Direction Magazine – The Oscars of Web Mapping 2004
