Powerful Resource Scheduling for Efficient Operations

Public transport companies constantly face the challenge of balancing limited fleets, driver availability, and operational constraints.  

Authorities and operators need flexible, integrated solutions that combine automation and adaptability to streamline operations and maximize resource efficiency. 

Key benefits for public transport PTAs and PTOs: 

 

  • Maximize fleet utilization: Automatically build efficient vehicle blocks that minimize deadhead trips and include recovery or charging times to keep services running smoothly. 
  • Ensure fair driver assignments: Distribute workload evenly respecting labor rules and maintaining transparency and equity for all operators. 
  • Adapt quickly to change: Adjust rosters or vehicle allocations in real-time to handle driver absences, demand peaks, or unplanned service disruptions. 
  • Reduce operational costs: Smarter scheduling reduces overtime, idle time, and vehicle downtime, boosting overall operational cost efficiency. 
  • Simplify multimodal scheduling: Manage buses, trams, metros, and ferries in one unified platform, ensuring consistent standards and flexibility across modes. 
  • Increase operational resilience: Use intelligent automation to simulate scenarios, anticipate issues, and maintain reliable services even under changing conditions. 

Modules and Features: 

  • Vehicle Scheduling: Automatically create optimized vehicle blocks minimizing non-revenue trips, considering all hard and soft rules, interlining needs, charging for e-buses, and recovery times at terminals.  
  • Driver Scheduling: Generate compliant and efficient driver duties with an embedded optimization algorithm. Configure rules, including maximum spread and break time. 
  • Rostering: Build balanced work packages or cafeteria schedules for drivers that respect automatically, maintaining full visibility and manual flexibility when needed. 

 

With the MAIOR Suite modules for resource scheduling, public transport companies connect fleet, driver, and roster workflows in one environment, boosting efficiency, adaptability, and control through intelligent automation and data-driven insights.
