AI Transit Planning: Data-Driven Recommendations for Service Design

How can AI help transit agencies decide what service to run with their existing resources? Anthony will show how Ontra helps planners explore and prioritize changes across fixed-route and on-demand service design — generating thousands of new service options and evaluating them against a calibrated travel demand model to help agencies serve more riders, more efficiently.

Read up on our approach

A short series on how the Ontra Planning Platform generates, models, and explains better service plans.

Flowchart showing the optimization process: three inputs on the left — Demand Data, Network Data, and Ridership Data — feed into a central Optimize step along with a Scenario configuration. Three outputs emerge on the right: Optimized Network, KPIs and Analysis, and Reports and Visuals.

Building the Ontra Planning Platform

Ontra’s Planning Platform brings demand modeling, optimization, scenario testing, and analysis into one workflow to help agencies generate better service recommendations under real-world constraints.

Making Optimization Practical for Everyday Transit Planning

Optimization can help transit agencies search thousands of possible service designs, but only if it is grounded in the real constraints agencies face every day.

Building Demand Models for Practical Transit Planning

A service recommendation is only useful if it reflects how people are likely to use the network.

Explaining the Impact of Better Transit Plans

A service recommendation is only valuable if planners can understand it, compare it, and explain it. Ontra's Planning Platform helps agencies understand what a design changes, who it affects, and what tradeoffs it creates.
