Optimum deployment plans for vehicles and staff.

Even before the first vehicles leave the depot, IVU systems plan the deployment of buses, trams, trains and drivers. Before the passenger boards a service, IVU solutions tell him how to reach his destination most quickly.

A planner is faced with wide-ranging tasks – in order to create a timetable, he must record the stops, routes and lines in transport plans and map them in a system. He must also calculate travel times, which must always be up to date. Quality specifications play an important role here, for example in ensuring connections. And last but not least, he must plan the deployment of vehicles and drivers in as cost-effective a manner as possible. Statutory requirements such as regulations regarding break times as well as collective wage and operational conditions must be taken into consideration. In addition, major events, school holidays and construction sites require specially adapted timetables and staff rosters. To enable the traffic to flow smoothly, planning systems must be able to respond quickly and efficiently. Flexibility, efficiency and user-friendliness are an established standard for the IVU.suite systems. IVU.plan and IVU.pool help the planners in performing their demanding tasks and ensure that vehicles and people keep moving.
