Cambridge Systematics, Minn. Metro Transit partner to improve next bus arrival time predictions
Cambridge Systematics (CS) was selected by Minneapolis’ Metro Transit to participate in a pilot program to evaluate approaches and technologies to improve the agency’s bus arrival time predictions based on current information about vehicle location, traffic conditions, weather, and other relevant factors.
The CS team is building a real-time predictions solution for Metro Transit using the open-source software, TheTransitClock. To improve the accuracy of predicted arrival times, the CS team’s solution employs a Kalman Filter, an adaptive algorithm that recognizes unusual conditions, like abnormal traffic congestion and weather events, and draws on the most relevant historical and real-time data to improve the quality of its arrival time predictions by more accurately estimating vehicle travel times and dwell times (periods when the bus is at a stop, loading and unloading passengers).
Vehicles that improperly use busways and bus lanes, block bus stops, or illegally double-park will receive warning notices in the mail for an initial period of 60 days, followed by summonses thereafter.
The project, finalized on February 12, provides the city with two different configurations of high-definition cameras to outfit 16 buses in the Pretzel City Area Transit fleet.
