are, whatever we do, whatever we did and whatever has been
done by us is solely due to Him and Him alone and rest all are his
creatures which He created to assist us.
We would like to express our very great appreciation to Lecturer
Saroop Shahid for her valuable and constructive suggestions
during the planning and development of this research work. Her
willingness to give her time so generously has been very much
appreciated.
It is also our duty to record our thankfulness to the Lab Technicians
& Lab Instructors of the Computer Lab of NUST Institute of Civil

OBJECTIVE
&
STRATEGY

SECTION-B | Confidential
Objective
To provide an effective transport system in the form of a Shuttle
Service in the National University of Sciences & Technology,
Islamabad.
Our aim was to facilitate the students and faculty with an
efficient, comfortable, economical and reliable Shuttle service.
Software Used:
For our work we have used ARC GIS 10.1 & 9.3.1
Why to use ARCGIS?
o Advantages
Increased demand
User easiness
o ArcGIS makes it simpler to put mapping and
geospatial analytics into the hands of more
people without requiring that they be GIS
experts. o One of the most important aspects of this
release is that ArcGIS users can deliver any GIS
resource, such as maps, imagery, geo-
databases, and tools, as a web service.
Market Share
Other Out-dated technologies

Prevention of Accidents
More safety
Simplicity
Technical support and help
Continuous improvement and
modification in form of newer versions
Various tools available for spatial
analysis
o Disadvantages
Requires large amount of data as a
input which can lead to errors if data
is error prone.(metadata or spatial
data)
Very expensive software
Somewhat slow when compared to
other GIS systems; in processing for
example exporting shape file.
HARDWARE USED
The hardware used are:
I. Laptops & Desktop computers:
On which the softwares were installed.
II. Printers:
Which were used for printing of this report
and the maps for visual side by side
consultation and planning.
III. USB:
For data transferring between computers.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM
INTER-CAMPUS TRANSPORTATION:-
NUST is a very versatile university which is spread all over
Pakistan in the shape of its various Institutes and Schools. It
has its campuses in Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Risalpur &
Karachi. Universities world-
wide spread across their
respective countries have
developed very effective
transportation system for
almost every soul
associated with them.
Presently, there isn’t any
need for an inter-city
transportation system
between NUST’s
Campuses as each
Campus is a university in
itself and a negligible
amount of people travel between them compared to the
number of student & faculty studying & working in them;
even in occasions in which one might think that if a
reasonable service had been provided it would have
been better, for example during Olympiads which are
being organized in H-12 and EME, Rawalpindi from the last

two years, a temporary bus service run at the morning
and returned at the evening suffices the purpose.
INTRA-CAMPUS TRANSPORT:-
Now, our main focus during our research work would be
transporting people from one place to another in a
campus as from the previous paragraph we came to
know that transporting people from one Campus to the
other is not an issue to exert our efforts upon.
It’s a common fact that H-12 Campus of NUST is the
largest campus nationwide among its own Campuses
and also among other universities. Its located on an entire
Sector of Islamabad,
knowing the fact that
the standard area of
each Sector was fixed
to 4 km2 when
Islamabad was
envisaged/planned.
This vast spread
Campus contains
many and different
geographical features due to which Man-made features
are vastly spread. It contains Hostel buildings,
Administrative buildings, recreational facilities like
cafeterias and gymnasium, staff residences, academic
10 FINAL PROJECT-SHUTTLE ROUTE MAP
SECTION-B | Confidential
structures like Examination Hall and Institutes. Apart from
the whole infrastructure what the basic demand of every
person coming in NUST, without a personal car, motorbike
or any other vehicles, every person living in it, and every
person studying in it is an effective transportation system
which can carry people and save time which is the basic
need of the hour.
Frankly speaking it’s an honour and prestige to study in
such an institute but with great honour comes great
hardships and one of the major hardships we encounter
every day; may it be of walking long distances from our
hostels to our knowledge centres or going from one
school so third and fourth and vice versa.
The above paragraph is a result of keen observation and self-experience of
students of NUST.
Evaluation of existing system
What is existing system?
o Presently, a shuttle service is being run in NUST
whose photographs and present route map is
shown on the next page. It starts its tour from
SMME and then passes through the following
buildings one by one:

5) Habib Bank Limited (HBL)
6) Masjid-e-Rehmat
7) Iqbal Square
8) Institute of Environmental Sciences &
Engineering (IESE)
9) CAMP
10) Concordia 1
And then ends its route near Fatimah Hostels in-front of
the NUST gym. It then runs back to SMME on the same
route covering the same spots again.
o DEMERITS
No specific time is mentioned or
schedule designed for it.
No check or locator to locate its
position.
No route for Gate 10, Gate 1, Isra
Apartments, Medical Centre causing
problems for walking students.
As it is run on electricity, so if its
charging finishes, it takes hours to
recharge.

BEST VEHICLE FOR OUR PURPOSE
What we suppose…… A Mini bus containing the
following features
Onspot location of the shuttle on its route
Full-size shuttles come equipped with
wheelchair lifts and bike racks
Buses equipped with web-
based Global Positioning
Systems (GPS) that can
track buses in real-time.
Riders will be
able to track the
location of any
bus on any route
online or by cell
phone

DESIGN PHASE
THE PLAN:
• Number of routes (3):
We proposed 3 routes because these are the
least number of routes that cover all the important
locations in NUST that are frequently visited by students
and faculty members.
More number of routes can facilitate the
students further but that would be uneconomical, so,
while taking all aspects into account, we proposed the
following 3 routes:
i. ROUTE 1- GATE 1 TO 10
ii. ROUTE 2 - GATE 1 TO 10
iii. ROUTE 3 (SMME TO RUMMI HOSTEL)

ROUTE 1- GATE 1 TO GATE 10 VIA
CONCORDIA-1
ROUTE DESCRIPTION: This route goes from GATE 1 to GATE 10 and back. This route has been designed especially to fulfil transportation needs of departments of IESE, SCME, NBS, SADA and ASAB. Apart from these education departments, this route also satisfies the needs of hungry students whenever they need to access the famous Concordia 1 café. Ladies of Fatima Hostel and Ayesha Hostel can also utilize this route to travel to departments and GATE 1 and GATE 10.

ROUTE 3-SMME TO RUMI HOSTELS
ROUTE DESCRIPTION: This route goes from Rumi Hostel to SMME and back. We thought of proposing this route from Rumi Hostels to Isra Apartments thus making our shuttle service easily available for Faculty Members and Worker Families also, but later through our analysis this route was rejected by our Route Proposer due to its uneconomical & high COST TO PASSENGER RATIO.

• The digital alignment of a satellite or aerial image with a map of the same area. In georectification, a number of corresponding control points, such as street intersections, are marked on both the image and the map. These locations become reference points in the subsequent processing of the image.
• In this case rectified image was obtained from GROUP 1
RECTIFICATION
• The process of converting the geographic features on an analog map into digital format using a digitizing tablet, or digitizer, which is connected to a computer. Features on a paper map are traced with a digitizer puck, a device similar to a mouse, and the x,y coordinates of these features are automatically recorded and stored as spatial data.
• Following diagrams ilaborate the process of digitization.
DIGITIZATION
Input • Geo Referenced Map (Group 1)
