With a population of 28,000 inhabitants, the town of Ajka in Hungary is a hub for work, health, and educational services. Every day more than 14,000 people commute to the city centre. Between 2013 and 2023 the number of cars in the city increased by 24%. Ajka municipality decided to re-organise and optimise the public transportation system to address local and regional mobility issues caused by high congestion rates and insufficient public transportation routes. Akja is looking to restructure the public transportation network and improve mobility flows in the city.
Meep’s solution Meep Opti is a tool that optimises public transport routes and user occupancy levels. The tool makes it possible to visualise each of the integrated public transport lines and occupancy levels by time slot, enabling hourly predictions. Essential information can then be gathered, helping to optimise timetables, routes, and occupancy levels.
Meep Opti will be tested on the city of Ajka’s bus lines, allowing visual control of the routes, hourly occupancy, and demographic data. The solution will provide real-time public transport information and up-to-date timetables and notifications, thus improving the reliability of the public transport network in Ajka.
