WiseRide
Optimising shared mobility services through AI-driven demand prediction
Description
WiseRide is a software tool for the optimal planning and management of shared mobility services, for any type of vehicle, whether free-floating or station-based. WiseRide helps operators and cities take into account the expected demand behaviour when designing, implementing and managing efficient and sustainable shared mobility systems, by coupling machine learning models that leverage operator data and external data sources with combinatorial optimisation techniques.
Key features
- Monitoring of service usage: vehicle rotation, hourly demand profile, clustering of stations or zones, etc.
- Demand forecasting for different time horizons and scenarios of service modification or expansion.
- Optimal scheduling of relocation and maintenance actions to meet the indicators defined for each specific service.
- Simulation of the impact of operational changes (e.g., relocation resources) on the quality of the service provided.
- Analysis of the contribution to sustainable mobility: modal share, shift from other modes, emissions saved, etc.
“The financial viability of shared mobility services depends on their ability to attract and satisfy demand while minimising operational costs; in parallel, cities face the challenge of developing policies and regulations that maximise the benefits of these new services while preventing undesired effects, like the abandonment of public transport. None of these goals can be met without the ability to understand, predict and steer user behaviour. WiseRide is the result of an intense research effort conducted alongside cities and shared mobility operators to address this pressing need.”

Applications
Shared mobility operators
WiseRide helps design new deployments and manage existing systems by assessing the required operating resources, optimising vehicle relocation tasks and prioritising asset maintenance actions to ensure compliance with service availability indicators and demand growth objectives.
Transport authorities
WiseRide enables the monitoring of existing systems and their contribution to sustainable mobility, as well as to design policies and regulations that maximise the benefits of shared mobility (e.g., what should be the area of operation of a new service to ensure complementarity with public transport and avoid modal shift from more sustainable modes?).
Key benefits
- Move from trial-and-error to evidence-based decisions: automatic scheduling of operator tasks, systematic evaluation of expansions, etc.
- Ensure both the financial viability of the service and the compliance with service level indicators.
- Unlock the social and environmental benefits of shared mobility by leveraging synergies with public transport.
- Leverage the data generated by the operation in a simple and agile way: compatibility with GBFS, MDS standards, etc.
What we deliver (and how)
- WiseRide is provided as a SaaS solution.
- Dashboard for service managers that enables model configuration, task monitoring, simulation of changes in operation resources, etc.
- Intuitive mobile interface for service field operators, with real-time updates on tasks to be performed.
- Seamless integration with other analytical tools via API.
