Fixed Route Scheduling Software

Large public transit organizations can be extremely complex in terms of their requirements for routing vehicles and creating efficient, “streetable” schedules. Many struggle with the competing requirements to increase ridership, reduce vehicle and operator costs and improve service.

Computer automation of basic scheduling functions has alleviated some of that complexity, but has also created fresh technical challenges. While a number of software vendors and system integrators provide scheduling software, very few can deliver a solution that is sufficiently flexible, extensible and scalable to meet the changing needs of the large public transit authorities and operators.

For years, Trapeze has provided the public transit industry with powerful, effective routing, scheduling, blocking, runcutting and rostering solutions that have set industry standards. Trapeze systems enable planners and schedulers to creatively achieve the objectives of the organization. Our scheduling software provides flexibility, adapting easily to changes in service, work rules, ridership and the IT environment.

Our fixed route scheduling software systems integrate with other components including planning tools, operations management, demand response scheduling, customer information (incl. Web and IVR), and intelligent transit technologies such as CAD/AVL, APC, on-board passenger information, etc.
