    Benefits of Software-as-a-Service in public transport

    James and Katherine discuss Software as a Service (SaaS) software in a world where public transport agencies face increasing pressure to modernise their services, improve operational efficiency, and provide better customer experiences.  Many agencies are turning to software to manage complex logistics, scheduling, ticketing, and real-time information delivery to achieve this. One of the most popular software models is SaaS, which provides cloud-based solutions that can be accessed via the internet. However, SaaS is not the only option on the table—custom-built or bespoke software solutions also offer an alternative. In this post, we’ll dive into the benefits of SaaS software for public transport agencies and compare it to building custom software solutions.

    Giuseppe Sollazzo: What's the biggest enabler of transport innovation today?

    To answer that question - and get our brains ticking over with many more - we welcomed Giuseppe Sollazzo, Head of Data at the DfT, to sit down with Matt and Tom for the final episode of Making Passenger series 1.  Giuseppe broke down NaPTAN, NAP and threw a few more anacronyms at us for good measure! We talked about why data is gathered and why it's so important to the public transport sector.  We looked at cases where data had been gathered before there was even a user need for it and considered how we link data structures to user need. Giuseppe's passion for data and open data is possibly unparalleled, so he was the perfect person to join us in pondering how we can use data to enable engagement and innovation across the public transport sector and beyond.

    Dr. Ian Walker: Ask Yourself "What Feels Weird"?

    This week, Matt and Tom speak to Dr. Ian Walker. Ian teaches Statistics and Traffic Psychology at the University of Bath and has undertaken research on road safety, travel habits and the impact of environmental messaging. As councils up and down the UK start to implement changes to road and cycleways; Matt, Tom and Ian talked about conflicts engineered by the way we build our streets, how to get transport modes to function amicably together and the impact of private cars on our roads. Thought experiments abounded as they learned more about how people psychologically adapt and react to change, and what it could take to encourage the UK to put down their car keys for good.

    Dave Hulbert and Andy Leon: Using data to track and predict crowding on UK buses

    Passenger's Engineering Director Dave Hulbert and Engineering Lead Andy Leon join Matt and Tom to explain how they have been able to deliver accurate, robust and reliable updates to help essential travellers to plan their travel around social distancing recommendations.  Bringing streams of crowdsourced information alongside automatic passenger counting from a number of different suppliers of hardware on the buses, creates a qualitative picture of the live occupancy of the vehicle. Whilst this is hugely important during the pandemic, Passenger believe the technology also has longer reaching benefits. Built at pace from their Enhanced Vehicle Information module, Passenger are rolling this out now to help inform users of the cleanliness of vehicles plus space and seating availability.
