IVU software for Paris metropolitan area - STIF orders IVU.plan for management and tracking of its services

Berlin, 22 March 2016 – Passenger volumes on public transport in the Paris region have been rising constantly for several years now. Syndicat des transport d’Île-de-France (STIF) has now opted for IVU.plan from Berlin-based IVU Traffic Technologies AG to adapt its services to transportation requirements and evaluate them statistically.

As the public transport authority for the Île-de France-region, STIF organises and finances all public transport in Paris and the surrounding area. Extensive automation and ergonomic operation are set to make the IVU software much easier to use and help to harmonise services on 1,100 lines, which are run by 70 private companies with more than 4,700 vehicles. IVU.plan will enable STIF to handle current timetabling, schedule-planning and staff-roster details of all bus operators centrally.

With the IVU solution, the authorities will be able to manage and evaluate this large volume of data much more efficiently than before. IVU.plan ensures consistent storage and preparation of the information through visualisation and statistical evaluation. This gives STIF a constant overview of all staff rosters and schedules as well as lines, depots and empty runs. Comprehensive simulations and analyses make it easier to plan depot locations, create new services and adapt existing lines and services in line with requirements. In particular, IVU.plan allows STIF to assess the performance of its transportation networks precisely and estimate the likely costs associated with them. The entire system will be hosted and maintained by IVU as part of IVU.cloud.

“We are proud that, alongside Berlin, London, Vienna, Stockholm, Budapest and other capitals, our system is now being used in Paris – a major city with a truly world-class transport system,” said Martin Müller-Elschner, CEO of IVU Traffic Technologies AG. “We expect this success to send out a big signal, particularly to the French market.”

IVU Traffic Technologies AG has been working for 40 years with some 400 software engineers to ensure that transport in the world’s major cities operates reliably and on time. People and vehicles in expanding cities are continually on the move – a logistical challenge which calls for intelligent and reliable software systems. The standardised software products of the IVU.suite and tailor-made IT solutions are used to plan, optimise and control the scheduling of vehicle fleets and personnel. Other systems support the choice of branch locations or ensure that election results are determined correctly.
