ioki, a pioneer in digital mobility, and SonoBeacon, a specialist in Motion Data Intelligence, are expanding their collaboration. Together, both companies aim to make local public transport more attractive and efficient. By combining SonoBeacon’s real-time occupancy data with ioki’s mobility analytics and simulations, a new level of optimised mobility insights emerges, enabling integrated transport solutions at unprecedented quality standards.Â
Shared vision of data-driven transport planning
The shared vision is to provide public transport authorities and operators with comprehensive data insights for their service lines using cost-effective and adaptable sensor technology. This enables evidence-based transport planning and investment decisions. This also helps improve customer satisfaction and optimise mobility services sustainably, even under increasing cost pressure.Â
“The collaboration between SonoBeacon and ioki combines technical product compatibility and innovative visions to jointly shape new paths of mobility. By working together, we can optimally complement our experiences and competencies to create even greater added value for public transport customers,” says Olaf Stepputat, Chief Executive Officer of SonoBeacon.
Data availability: Increasing efficiency and reducing operating costs
The analysis of route utilisation provides transport companies and authorities with valuable insights to effectively manage their public transport services. This enables them to identify bottlenecks, optimise routes, adjust schedules precisely to demand, and detect sections where delays frequently occur. The analysis of first and last mile connections enables the development of integrated mobility services. This data-driven approach helps operators improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and boost passenger satisfaction.Â
“The cooperation with SonoBeacon brings us another step closer to our goal of providing data-based and therefore attractive public transport service. The data insights from our on-demand services already help us improve efficiency of scheduled services,” explains Benjamin Pfeifer, Chief Commercial Officer of ioki.
