Commutable

Project abstract
Commutable are developing a new software model for public transport on buses, which will enable a bus fleet to be run using both dynamic scheduling and dynamic routing.The goal of this project is to improve efficiency and utilisation of a municipal bus operator’s existing fleet by removing the restrictions of fixed routes and schedules, and running the service based on continually-recalculated predicted demand.

We are seeking collaborators to help develop a mathematical simulation of a real-world bus service, to allow us to test the impact of changes to the bus’ routes or timetables. Skills in programming, modelling, algorithms, artificial intelligence and statistics are particularly relevant. Information about each day’s performance is fed back into the system to allow it to improve over time. The simulation will allow us to test various optimisations, and identify knock-on effects and inefficiencies that may result from these changes.
