In public transportation, getting drivers to their buses on time is just as important as the bus route itself. Relief cars (also called taxis, ferries or shuttles) help drivers move between the depot and their relief points. However, planning these trips by hand can be difficult and takes a lot of time.
Join us for a live demo of our Relief Car Scheduling tools. We will show you how to set everything up easily, use our new optimization model to save time, and make sure your schedules move your drivers more efficiently in the real world.
What you’ll learn:
- Easy Setup: How to best set up for relief car scheduling using only the in-schedule drivers vs a shuttle service that requires designated drivers.
- Control the result: How to control pairing drivers, grouping drivers on the same relief car trip and manage your relief car fleet size.
- Multi modal travel options: Learn how to combine walking, car trips, and public transportation into one smooth journey.
- Pro Tips: How to handle cars left at stops and how to use buses as relief vehicles when you’re short on cars.
Who should attend:
- Schedulers: If you want to stop manually building relief car trips and let the system do the work.
- Operations Managers: If you need to lower the number of cars you use and improve fleet efficiency.
- Transportation Planners: If you want to create more realistic travel times for your drivers.
Whether you are looking to automate your current manual processes or fine-tune your existing relief car strategy, this session will provide the technical insights and best practices needed to create more realistic, efficient schedules.
