Improve Public Transportation

Optimizing Public Transport Through Data-Driven Strategies

Solutions from our partners is a big data-driven decision support system that offers planning & optimization, analysis, and data management processes under one roof in public transportation. It addresses many of your questions such as 

• How do public transportation users move around the city? 
• How can I create schedules, vehicle, and driver assignments that reduce costs and improve service levels?

Analysis

Our solution provides performance analyses of the current situation based on routes, stops, and zones (such as the number of boardings, route similarity ratios, etc.). Additionally, it offers demand and behavior analysis in public transportation through Origin-Destination analyses.

Planning & Optimization

With its dynamic and innovative planning approach that allows you to test different scenarios, Solution creates optimized schedules and assigns vehicles and drivers to meet public transportation demand while catering to your needs (such as cost reduction, service level improvement, etc.).

Data Management (GTFS)

Solution ensures the management of your public transportation data is up-to-date and accurate by converting it to the international data standard GTFS format. Additionally, this format allows for data sharing with passenger information applications, providing users with accurate and current public transportation information.

	Data Update Cermoni ensures that your public transportation data is always up-to-date and accurate. Thanks to seamless data updates, you can access your up-to-date information without data loss and provide the best service to your passengers.
	Creating a Standard Data Format (GTFS) Cermoni supports the GTFS data format, the global transportation data format standard, so you can use it to integrate your public transport data harmoniously into different applications.
	Current Situation Monitoring Cermoni monitors the current state of your public transportation network, helping you identify problems and find quick solutions. It supports the identification of unused lines and stops and the creation of intervention plans.
	Mobility Analyses Cermoni allows you to plan public transportation under different occupancy scenarios, taking into account demand uncertainty. Thus, you can adapt to changing conditions quickly and effectively.
	Scenario Based Planning Cermoni allows you to plan public transportation under different occupancy scenarios, taking into account demand uncertainty. Thus, you can adapt to changing conditions quickly and effectively.
	Timetable Planning Cermoni simplifies and optimizes your timetable creation process. In this way, by setting the right timetable, you can use your human and time resources correctly, improve your working conditions and increase your service level.
	Vehicle and Driver Assignment Cermoni helps you perform vehicle and driver assignments in the most efficient way. By analyzing the data, you can determine the most suitable vehicle and driver combinations.

You can find answers with this planning tool for like;

• How can I increase our PT service level and what my timetable look like?
• How many number of vehicles we need?
• What will be the cost change?
• What should the vehicle types be?
• What will the fuel consumption and carbon emission be according to the timetable?

	Passenger Module Module Passenger provides insights into the utilization of transit by displaying trends, outliers, predictions and smart augmentation of your data.  These dashboards are of great support to planning, operations, marketing, sales and finance departments.  The module uses AFC data to create indicators like: ridership, revenue, OD-relations, trips, journeys, transfers, passenger kms, speed and directness.
Service Module Module Service is designed to optimise public transport to passengers by unlocking information about service quality, trends, outliers and forecasts, providing ground to perform advanced analytics.  It is especially recommended for planning, operations and marketing departments. This module uses CAD-AVL and planning data to compute indicators like: punctuality, regularity, excess wait time, dwell time.
	Vehicle Module Module Vehicle combines CAD AVL and planning data to display information about vehicle availability and operations.  The dashboards are of great support for planning, maintenance and operations departments. This module provides indicators like: vehicle (missed) trips, vehicle hours, vehicle and seat kms / miles, planned and actual, dead and revenue.
Driver Module Module Driver uses data from planning and vehicle management to provide dashboards on driver performance.  This module is a great companion for planning and HR departments.  Some of the indicators include: on-time first stop, percentage too early departures, number of accidents.
	Corporate & Finance Module Module Finance makes use of both CAD AVL and AFC data to provide insights into revenue and costs, including cost recovery. It helps to streamline operations, minimise inefficiencies and costs.  This information is useful for planning, maintenance, operations, sales and finance departments.  The module contains indicators like: passenger revenue, direct cost, farebox recovery ratio, efficiency ratios.
