Our desire was to create a user friendly transport route planning tool which could be adapted for many different situations A regional air transport network can be very complicated when a large amount of flight data are analysed Based on such a format, it may not be too difficult to find a transport route, but could be difficult for administrators or business developers to discover/develop regional cooperation via coordination of airline routes To seek greater integration and point-to-point accessibility, a graphic platform that can display scheduled flights and allow for the testing of possible rationalization scenarios is a highly desired tool. As a teaching and research tool, SchedSync has been successfully applied to the air networks of South Pacific Island airlines To share with the transport community how SchedSync is developed, this paper discussed the design philosophy and the algorithms used in the program development Some thoughts for further refinement are also discussed (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no.
