Optimizing On-Demand Transit

Public transportation is evolving, and the need for efficient, flexible, and seamless mobility solutions has never been greater. With growing urban populations and increasing expectations for convenience, transit agencies must balance efficiency with rider demand. This is where MOBILE-FLEX, an innovative solution from INIT, transforms on-demand services into an integrated, smart, and seamless system.

Seamless Integration of On-Demand and Fixed-Route Services

MOBILE-FLEX is a powerful booking, dispatching, and optimization platform designed to enhance on-demand transportation. Whether for flexible routing, ride pooling, or corridor-based operations, MOBILE-FLEX ensures smooth coordination between fixed-route and on-demand transit, enabling agencies to offer tailored mobility solutions while maximizing operational efficiency.

AI-Driven Efficiency and Passenger Convenience

At the core of MOBILE-FLEX is an AI-based optimizer, which efficiently links journey requests, minimizes travel times, and ensures cost-effective route planning. The system dynamically adapts to real-time conditions, allowing for short-notice bookings and seamless ride pooling. Passengers can request rides through multiple channels, including:

A mobility app
A web-based platform
Phone booking
Integration via REST API

This multi-channel approach ensures accessibility for all users, improving passenger satisfaction and expanding service reach.

Empowering Drivers with Smart Technology

MOBILE-FLEX also streamlines driver operations by integrating effortlessly with INIT’s existing driver interfaces:

COPILOTpc/EVENDpc On-Board Computers
COPILOTapp for Smartphones and Tablets

With these tools, drivers can easily manage trip assignments, communicate with dispatchers, and navigate efficiently—whether using an on-board computer or a mobile device. This is particularly beneficial for agencies operating small on-demand vehicles without built-in hardware.

Full Visibility and Control for Transit Agencies

By integrating with MOBILE-ITCS, INIT's Intermodal Transport Control System, MOBILE-FLEX offers agencies combined on-demand and fixed-route services with the ability to:

Monitor and manage fleets in real-time

Optimize dispatching and vehicle positioning

Analyze performance using MOBILEstatistics for data-driven decision-making

Additionally, MOBILE-FLEX can integrate with other CAD/AVL systems or even taxi dispatch centers, ensuring smooth connectivity across transit networks.

Why MOBILE-FLEX?

Maximized Operational Efficiency: AI-driven ride pooling and routing reduce empty miles and optimize fleet utilization.
