Short-Term Forecast

Machine Learning Techniques
The system uses Machine Learning techniques to accurately forecast each station’s pickups and drop-offs in 10 minutes slots for the next 24 hours. This is done by combining historical data with external variables such as weather forecasts and traffic conditions.

Optimize & Reconfigure

Optimal Configuration
Based on the forecast, the system defines in real-time the optimal configuration (bikes per station) that will minimize the risk of empty or full stations and the need of van movements. It also generates each technician’s optimal maintenance schedule for collection or site repair.
Adapt in Real-Time

Monitor the Real-Time Situations
Throughout the day, the system monitors the real-time situation of each station (actual pickups, drop-offs, current inventory) as well as real-time weather and traffic conditions, alerting planners of potential issues and proposing optimized corrective measures. The user interface is clean and intuitive allowing planners to focus on the most relevant issues and make fast data driven decisions, while monitoring overall KPI performances. It also provides a collaborative environment where several planners can work in parallel.
