Explainers, field notes and results from the people who plan, launch and run demand-responsive transport services.
The future of urban transport is multimodal. As cities evolve, commuters are no longer relying on a single mode to reach their destination. They use a mix of bus, train, bike-share, and increasingly, on-demand services.
Introducing Intermodality, Shotl’s new feature that seamlessly integrates DRT and public transport through real-time, dual-engine optimization. It enables smarter, flexible, and fully connected journeys for both operators and passengers.
Ferran Carril explains how Shotl’s backend stays robust: isolating dependencies, prioritizing essentials, feature flags, autoscaling, and resource buffers to keep ETAs reliable under spikes.
The increasing availability of data has provided new opportunities for PTA and PTO to enhance their operations and deliver improved services to commuters.
Open knowledge, an integrated use of the data that people generate through daily mobility patterns, will let us make much more efficient use of existing or future transport networks.
We’re used to talking about multimodal MaaS in big cities, but that’s often where the conversation ends. However, we believe there are also compelling reasons to implement it in smaller municipalities, with a few adjustments.
Data shed light on the desires of consumers, which is the main reason many companies consider data science to be a key factor in their strategic business plans.
Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) could be the one of the keys to breaking our addiction to the car. It’s being tested in several cities, but uptake varies greatly and there’s a lot of work to do before its full potential is realized.
Machine Learning (ML) is a field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which focuses on the development of techniques that allow computers to learn how to perform a specific task.
