Data & Bus Expertise

Benefit from CitySwift’s big data and bus expertise.

Work with a team from diverse backgrounds, from commercial roles at large bus operators, to data science and data engineering. Our combined experience means we have seen every kind of route and anomaly - and we know how to work with it.

Automatically process and transform millions of data points
into intelligent decisions and results for your network.

Ingest

Data is gathered from a myriad of sources for automated processing by CitySwift's proprietary data engine.

Raw bus data

  • Demand data: where passengers are
  • Schedule data: where the bus should be
  • Vehicle position data: where the bus actually was

Other sources 

  • Topology
  • Post codes/zip codes
  • Geographic areas
  • Bounding boxes

Clean and join

Data is cleaned and connected together for optimal accuracy and quality.

Gain a comprehensive picture of where the bus really was

CitySwift combines Demand + Location data to retrieve the most accurate vehicle location information every 22 seconds.

Validation of all data sources for maximum confidence

CitySwift ensures that all of your data makes sense. Duplicate datasets, buses tracked in another continent, huge gaps in data - it's all fixed.

Geospatial mapping for more accuracy and speed

Our proprietary method of mapping data means we require 20-30% less data from you, for easier, faster and reliable analysis.

Full monitored pipeline management so there is always a human in the loop

Our internal data team monitor all data engine jobs daily, evaluating the analysis and understanding why to report on it internally. This way, there is always a human working with the data engine every step of the way.

Enrich

More data and intelligence is layered on top of location data, for a more complete picture of insights.

Uncover lost and hidden insights

Where there are gaps in bus data, or information it simply cannot provide, CitySwift will use the likes of geographical and demand data to infer accurate insights and deliver new information.

Demand data to understand how your network moves

Whether it’s ticketing or APC technology, CitySwift will automate analysis of data captured by this hardware to show you boarding, alighting, occupancy and capacity insights.

Corridor-level analysis to aid decision making

Make decisions with the right context using CitySwift’s granular route overlap analysis

Action and deliver

Data is fed to the CitySwift products and downstream to other departments and applications for fast results.

Data visualisation, AI-powered optimisations and predictions

All analysis and insights are delivered via the CitySwift platform in the form of efficiency, demand, and punctuality metrics, service optimisations and predictive analytics, and more.

Data confidence for evidence and collaboration

Grow stakeholder relationships by using an evidence-based approach to collaboration. Have confidence in decisions and build credibility internally and externally. 

Fast decisions (and impact)

Act faster than ever with data-driven decision making: remove manual data management and reporting.

Mitigate risk: Simulate and test

Predict how changes to service will impact performance, resource, cost, and demand.
