Public transport

What is at play in public transport

Operators plan on the basis of traffic, weather and passenger demand, often still largely on experience and manual work. The data to do it better is there, but it is spread across systems. And a timetable that no one can explain does not get run: a planner has to be able to check and defend a choice to colleagues and to the client.

Working in a strict sector calls for demonstrable information security. Gradient is ISO 27001 certified.

Where it pinches

Planning takes a lot of time
Making a timetable is manual work across many variables. That takes long and leaves little room to compare variants.
Data is scattered
Traffic, weather and passenger demand sit in different systems and are rarely used together.
A black box is not trusted
Planners do not follow a system they cannot check. Without an explanation, a prediction remains advice that gets set aside.

What we do

All services

01
People and model together
We combine planning expertise with AI predictions. The planner decides, the model calculates and substantiates.
02
Explainable per choice
The model shows where a prediction comes from, so a planner can check and explain it instead of following it blindly.
03
Measurable result
We measure whether the planning really improves, on punctuality and on the time a planning process takes. That way you steer on figures, not on impressions.
