TheBus partnered with its CAD-provider, Trapeze, to develop a Dynamic Headway Management Module. Under dynamic headway scheduling, an entire bus route is monitored by the CAD system and total circuit times are measured in real time.
The tool enables cities and transit operators to visualize and understand how route changes will affect selected demographic groups living along those routes.
An immediate return to previous levels of service will not be feasible in many cases, given the changes wrought by the pandemic that need to be addressed in transportation exit plans.
Addressing where the buses should park in the middle of the day and other common corporate shuttle challenges.
