Trends
●
Driverless/ autonomous cars, buses, trains and taxis (Google, Volkswagen, Nissan)
●
Increasing information about traveller needs
●
Increasing information about travelling behavior
●
Increasing possibilities to communicate with the passenger and driver
●
New business models

Future of Service Planning
More means to increase the added value of Public Transport
1. Planned efficiency
2. Operational efficiency
3. Balance between supply and demand
4. Better allocation of resources
4
To increase the real added value ….
X
A
Long lines with always the
same bus
Detours for
accessible
public transport
Multiple lines on one track
with different and
unpredictable frequencies
B
Y
current
5
...we have to redesign the network.
B
A
Pre- and post
transport
Stretched lines
Shorter lines where
capacity changes when the
demand is changing
C
One line on one track
with higher but
predictable frequency
High quality
nodes
D
redesign

By measuring the passenger behaviour…

…we are able to plan capacity, based on
minimum demand..
Overcapacity
Maximum
planned supply
Maximum demand
Minimum demand
Current system
Coordination
Minimal planned
supply
Desired system

...and coordinate service to adapt to real
demand…

…with the appropriate resources

Challenges
Operators
● Enhance the analysis of travelling behaviour.
● Choose a real integrated multi- modal approach. Interface with other modes of transport.
● Enhance the flexibility of resources, flexible rosters (Assigning duties in advance, not trips)
● Enhance real time coordination of public transport
Suppliers
● Software to analyse, visualise and monitor travelling behaviour
● Software with high speed algorithms, which can deliver quick new results during the day.
● Software to integrate the scheduling of several modalities
● Software to real-time balance between demand and supply
● Bus constructors: Buses/Trailers which can adapt to travelling demand and measure loadings
PTA’s
●
●
●
●
Fully use the knowledge of the operators to enhance the public transport system
Make data accessible
Integrated approach on city-planning, network planning and service planning
Develop dedicated bus- infrastructure
●
Integrating other modalities in the overall vision
