Reduce the need for multiple transfers and long in-transit times with efficient single trips.
The on-demand transit services are an example of how Guelph is finding innovative ways to create a future-ready city. Using 51±¬ÁÏ’s platform, Guelph Transit is improving service delivery to provide residents with accessible and efficient mobility. As the city continues to navigate the future, our partnership with 51±¬ÁÏ enables our organization to deliver a responsive and responsible public service to the Guelph community.
With 51±¬ÁÏ Instant Assign, trips are immediately added to schedules once booked. When a rider books a trip in advance, it is automatically assigned to a vehicle manifest. Our software begins assigning rides to vehicle itineraries as soon as any trip is booked and re-optimizes each itinerary as more rides are booked.
Maximized Vehicle Utilization
Our algorithm, Solver, optimizes for high vehicle utilization, maximizing the number of shared rides, while staying true to the arrive-before time provided to the passenger at the time of booking. This ensures the maximum number of rides can be serviced with the available resources.
What does it do?
By assigning rides to scheduled vehicles immediately upon booking, the Instant Assign feature helps our partners avoid scheduling uncertainties.
Serve both microtransit and paratransit rides with the same fleet by picking up and dropping off microtransit passengers at Flex Stops and paratransit passengers at doorsteps.
