Article from TripShot, 2024 Champion-level ACT Corporate Partner
Good transportation planning is essential to improve overall efficiencies and reduce single occupancy vehicle trips. Data analytics plays an important role in planning by providing valuable insights that can change how TDM professionals manage and optimize their transportation programs. Transportation technology partners can leverage advanced analytics to help transit managers make decisions, enhance their operations and increase overall efficiency.
Optimizing Routes
Data analytics enables transit systems to uncover the details in their operational data, identifying hidden patterns and trends that can result in better decision-making. Predictive modeling techniques and advanced tools help to provide a clear understanding of a transit system’s performance. In turn, TDM professionals can optimize routes, support transportation options and enhance the overall efficiency of their transit systems.
Comprehensive Reporting
By leveraging modern analytics tools and techniques, data teams provide accurate, timely, and secure comprehensive reporting. Dedicated analysts can provide deeper insights into an operation's service network, which unlocks commuting trends and enables data-driven decisions. TDM professionals can find new efficiencies when they utilize technology that unlocks the potential of their data. Analytics teams can identify key performance indicators (KPIs) and propose strategies to monitor and improve them, leading to cost savings and productivity improvements.
Proactive Planning with Predictive Analytics
The transportation landscape is ever-evolving. Staying ahead is essential to a successful transportation program. Predictive analytics help transit systems anticipate demand fluctuations and can proactively address challenges before they impact operations. TDM professionals and transit planners can feel confident that future plans support their goals with insights from data analytics.
