In Europe, in spite of COVID-19, electrification of bus fleets is still continuing. We must continue to drive cleaner air and energy adoption. Experts, however, focus on the physical vehicle and infrastructure and the actual day-to-day operation is forgotten. Since scheduling EVs is complex, the use of software should be taken into account. Operators are complaining of the complexity of EV scheduling, saying that their teams have had to go back to paper “as its been so tough to schedule these new buses" You will learn: How to manage a gradual rollout of E-Busses What does it mean when the whole fleet is running as EVs? How can I manage timetable changes or PVR increase/reduction? How do i get close to the same level of frequency as non-EV options?

We will discuss efficiency as well as whether it is of importance post COVID-19 with its reduced ridership and, in some cases, service.

This webinar will discuss how the new reality will play out in scheduling and planning public transportation and provide some detailed examples of such scenarios.

In this webinar we will take a closer look at scheduling practices and how they can improve efficiency, driver satisfaction and on-time performance

There is no one golden rule of operational efficiency, but improving it can have many benefits. In this webinar we discuss: How to measure transit operations efficiency The importance of focusing on passenger service Using agency and operator cooperation to increase efficiency Iterating on the timetable Checking labor rule variations & rosters Relief, mid-day parking…

In the past year and in the wake of many changes in the mobility world, cities have taken a greater role in setting ground rules for transportation. All this has transformed mass transit and its role in cities, while at the same time, new technologies are affecting planning and scheduling. This webinar will discuss these…

Rostering can be a painful process. You’ve got a complex combination of duties and trips, and you need to allocate them while keeping to hard-and-fast constraints like rest time and days off – mixed in with efforts to reduce costs and meet driver requests. And, you might have different groups of drivers that each have…

Electric vehicles are a new technology that presents public transportation agencies and operators with a host of new challenges and questions about maintenance, utility charges, planning and scheduling. Are you interested in learning more about electric vehicles? If so, then watch this webinar to hear: You will learn: Key planning considerations How to increase utilization…

Learn how Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE) modernized its planning and scheduling software, and how such platforms help deal with the challenges many agencies are dealing with. While mobility solutions are driven by immense technology innovation, agencies and transit operators are dealing with driver shortages, ridership and efficiency challenges that require modern planning and scheduling technology.…

You’ve heard of mobility as a service (MaaS). MaaS is about transportation that’s accessible on demand. Is that enough or can we do a better job of explaining it? Now you can go beyond the hype and demystify what MaaS really means for the future of transportation – and what steps transit agencies can take…

New platforms, made for fixed-route operations, are set to transform costs, performance and efficiencies. These platforms can also deliver significant operating improvements to shuttle operators. This webinar discusses the impact next-generation planning and scheduling platforms have on shuttle operations regardless of whether these are employee shuttles, airport services or any other form of shuttle-based transportation.…

Just like new mobility alternatives are changing the game in the urban transit space, next generation scheduling carries enormous transformational potential. This Webinar addresses the differences of next-generation planning and scheduling platforms, covering a detailed case study to explain how these systems can transform and improve transit operations. You will learn: The 8 characteristics of…

Mobility is going through massive changes, driven by technology. This webinar discussed the changes over the past few years, which made an impact on public transportation – both technological and behavioral.

This webinar replay showcases Optibus' OnTime capability - the ability to use machine learning and integrate external real-time data to predict on-time performance and create better schedules and plans a a result.
