Transportation planning is an important process to support the mobility of the cities, which is a growing problem in several Latin American countries. To face this problem, a normal transportation tool has been used, even until now, and it is known as Origin/destination (O/D) matrix. This matrix allows estimating the moving of users and future demand on the transportation system, and helps improving the planning, travel allocation and routes of transportation. The novelty o.fthis paper is focused on the design and implementation of a web service pla(form that can construct automatically the O/D matrix. This platform takes advantage of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach and web and mobile applications for the construction o.f this matrix. In addition, the system is used to public transportation system and takes advantage o.f Bluetooth technology as a very good approach to construct this matrix.
