Bus Network Management and Analysis Software Platform

This opportunity seeks software that enables transportation officers to visualize and manage the bus network across the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority area. The platform should integrate baseline data from the Bus Open Data Service (BODS) with geospatial data from the Combined Authority and partner organizations to provide a comprehensive view of the bus network alongside other relevant data sources. Key capabilities required include: the ability to combine multiple existing data sources into a single platform for cross-analysis with other geospatial information; integration of operational data such as patronage, boarding and alighting statistics, and fare transactions; tools to create and evaluate new bus routes and timetables with transparent analysis of scheduling, estimated vehicle kilometers, and peak vehicle requirements to indicate route costs; and functionality to evaluate strategic network performance including network accessibility analysis, network connectivity analysis, and methodology development for identifying Socially Necessary Local Services. The software should make all analysis data easily accessible and understandable to officers for informed decision-making.
