Accelerate Your Transit with Intelligent Transport Software
Public Transit Planning
A transportation planner works to create a well-organized system for a city. Transport planning involves adding new roads and determining stops on these routes with geometric coordinates to forecast passenger traffic numbers. It also includes calculating stop distances between any two points to ensure there's enough capacity during rush hour without slowing down other drivers or blocking off side-walks. This enables the creation of timetables that include rostering and blocking services on daily schedule routines – resulting in streamlined transportation planning.
Transportation Scheduling
Scheduling involves developing a timetable that considers trip numbers, trip intervals, capacity, traffic, and routes. It can create variants for working days, weekends and holidays along with the option of altering the timetable, if and when required, during the day. For building a schedule, official public transport planning includes daily, weekly, monthly, and annual passenger and vehicle traffic data.
Efficiency of a Public Transportation System
Transport software can be used to estimate the efficiency of public transit planning and operations. It determines the route a vehicle travels, accepts or declines trips, and creates actual trip reports by transit companies for year-to-date data to calculate reliability and punctuality of routes to include arrivals at stops. This public transportation technology also enables the creation of estimation data reports.
Data Migration
The use of an intelligent public transport system can provide services or API that upload data from one system to another. Both direct and indirect data are supported by public transport network planning systems. Direct data includes details on routes, stops, shapes, vehicles, and real-time GPS, while indirect data covers route calculation via upload of stop and shape coordinates.
Arrival Prediction
A public transport management system can use real-time GPS coordinates to predict when a vehicle will arrive at a specific stop and via which route. This is done by taking into account the route shape geometry, stopping distances, and real-time GPS points. The software enables quick and effective public transport planning and operations by calculating vehicle speed based on GPS points, schedule data, and traffic conditions.
