WHY IT MATTERS
Timetables Based on Passenger Demand Provide Service When It Is Needed
Passenger demand changes by route, direction, and time. Adjusting service frequency, departure times, and capacity accordingly helps align the timetable with actual travel needs.
Adjust service frequency to demand
Identify high-demand and low-demand periods to provide the right service frequency on each route.
Provide capacity
when it is needed
Determine the service level required to meet passenger demand on busy routes and during peak periods.
Improve
departure times
Identify high-demand and low-demand periods to provide the right service frequency on each route.
Use resources more efficiently
Identify low-occupancy trips and reduce the unnecessary use of vehicle and driver resources.
01
Understand demand across the network
Cermoni analyzes smart card transactions, passenger counts, route information, and occupancy estimates. See how demand changes across routes, directions, and time periods.
02
Find where the timetable does not match demand
Identify where and when passenger demand increases or decreases. See which trips, routes, and time periods need closer attention.
03
Redesign departure times, headways, and frequencies
Use demand insights to reduce low-occupancy trips and increase service where demand is high. Create a timetable that better balances passenger needs and operational priorities.

Demand-based service frequency
Cermoni shows how passenger demand changes by route, direction, and time of day. Use these patterns to adjust departure times, headways, and service frequencies based on when passengers actually need service.
See how demand changes throughout the service day.
Reduce low-occupancy trips during quieter periods.
Increase service frequency when demand is high.
Match service frequency to passenger demand
Timetable creation and optimization
Create a timetable from scratch using actual passenger demand or optimize your existing plan. Make network-wide changes or focus on the routes and time periods that need improvement.
Create timetables using actual passenger demand.
Improve existing departure times, headways, and frequencies.
Apply changes across the network or to selected routes.

Scenario-based timetable planning
Create different timetable scenarios by setting occupancy targets for peak and off-peak periods. Compare how each option balances service quality and cost efficiency before making a decision.
