public transport more attractive.
Key Components

1) Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

• Analyzes historical data (traffic, demand, disruptions).


• Predicts peak times, adjusts bus frequencies, and recommends optimal routes.

2) Real-Time Data Integration

• Incorporates live traffic data, GPS, weather forecasts, and passenger apps.
• Enables instant route and schedule adjustments to handle traffic jams, road closures, or weather
events.

3) Dynamic Scheduling & Route Optimization

• Adjusts schedules based on real-time conditions.


• Increases bus frequencies in high-demand areas, reroutes as needed.
Key Components

1) Predictive Analytics

• Forecasts future demand by analyzing trends in passenger behavior and traffic data.
• Helps plan resource allocation and prevent over/under-utilization of buses.

2) Fleet Management

• AI-driven to optimize bus deployment, schedule maintenance, and improve fuel efficiency.

3) Passenger-Centric Approach

• Minimizes wait times, improves punctuality, and provides real-time updates via apps.
• Includes accessible buses for passengers with special needs.
