  • Patent number: 9783109
    Abstract: A method and system for providing feedback to a vehicle driver are provided. Metrics are collected for a vehicle being operated. The metrics are categorized into one of a set of discrete performance categories. Sensory feedback is presented to a driver of the vehicle corresponding to the one discrete performance category.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 2013
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2017
    Assignee: Trapeze Software ULC
    Inventors: Ian Keaveny, Sebastien James Hinds, Andrew Henry Leitch Kerr
  • Patent number: 9697491
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for analyzing performance data in a transit organization. Accelerometer metrics are collected for a vehicle along a first axis. The metrics collected from the vehicle are summarized by unit measurement. The metrics summarized by unit measurement are then stored in storage.

  • Patent number: 7679531
    Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention there is provided a method of optimizing a fixed route on a transit network, comprising the steps of: a) permitting a vehicle providing service on the fixed route to make deviations from the fixed route based on passenger requests; b) tracking the deviations and number of passenger requests corresponding to each deviation; c) submitting information from tracking step b) into a decision-making algorithm; and d) modifying the fixed route to include new stops based on results from the decision-making algorithm, as well as a system for implementing this method.
