Via Announces Launch of Scheduling and Supply Studio
The first ever integrated and AI-powered platform for building and rostering optimal supply schedules across fixed-route, paratransit, and microtransit services
Via is excited to announce the launch of its new Scheduling and Supply Studio platform; the first suite of tools designed to leverage AI to help agencies build more efficient supply plans across fixed-route and demand response services.
Transit agencies are under pressure to deliver more reliable service with limited vehicles, operators, and budgets. Agencies are spending too much time and money building supply plans manually, while still ending up with inefficient coverage, mismatched service levels, and avoidable operational waste. The Scheduling and Supply Studio provides the world’s first fully integrated platform for optimizing vehicle and driver availability to rider demand, allowing agencies to reduce waste, cut operating costs, and improve service reliability across their entire network.
Over the past decade, Via has built one of the world’s most comprehensive datasets of real-world transit movement used to train its AI models. Billions of data points captured across the 800+ services Via powers provide invaluable insights into how real-world transit systems behave; combining real-time ridership data with sophisticated forecasting models to ensure that supply is being planned for real world conditions.
