The international operator is working with AI specialist Pathway to drive efficiency improvements across its networks in Europe
Live AI data specialist Pathway is working with Transdev on a strategic partnership to transform public transport network operations by integrating innovative real-time AI frameworks. With its operations and systems constantly generating more and more data, international transport operator Transdev says it needed a solution capable of processing real-time information, combined with historical data, to address mobility challenges in various territories.
For public transport applications, Pathway’s Live AI technology has been specifically applied to geospatial and temporal data, allowing enables live analytics of how vehicles are moving through a city in real time alongside other relevant data, which it says can help to increase operational efficiency and give a better customer experience.
Edouard Hénaut, Managing Director France at Transdev, said: “Pathway shows that real-time data processing and AI integrate seamlessly into our chain of business tools. The solution complements our operating and passenger information systems, without adding complexity or implementation delays, while guaranteeing reliable results. Effectively ensuring daily mobility requires expert use of the real-time data we produce, transform, and deliver to both passengers and local authorities clients. Our partnership with Pathway strengthens our expertise in this area and enables significant gains for the benefit of service quality.”
Director of Transdev’s Hauts de France and Grand Est Regions and President of operator DK’BUS commented: “The experimentation on the DK’BUS network, which serves the Urban Community of Dunkirk, has shown significant gains in terms of information quality. The accuracy and reliability of the information delivered has improved, enabling the disappearance of theoretical arrival times, better prediction of waiting time estimations and efficient dynamic management of unscheduled deviations. We look forward to deploying and offering this quality of information to our passengers daily. The DK’Bus team, led by General Manager Nicolas Gaillard, already has great ideas to introduce it to our travellers. Pathway is undeniably the high-performance solution for monitoring and visualising our activity to become even more reactive and continuously improve the data we produce.”
CEO and co-founder of Pathway Zuzanna Stamirowska added: “Transport is a dynamic industry, and an understanding of the real-time situation is critical for navigating mobility challenges. Applying AI and the most modern data processing to these challenges makes a very tangible difference to communities. We are proud to provide AI
that reduces wait times and unpredictability, in turn attracting more people to public transport and boosting quality of life for residents of cities around the world.”
