Areas of speciality

As a single source of truth with multimodal aggregated feed we’re able to offer specialist support for:

Schedule accuracy

Our commitment to best-in-class GTFS Static data enhancement starts with meticulous data analysis. We utilize our platform, Ito Edit, to scrutinize static data alongside source information, verifying schedules and pinpointing relevant vehicle details. This is crucial to ensure that our real time platform, Ito Validate, has full coverage and functionality of our input and output plugins. This data is then replayed within the real-time system, allowing us to closely observe update processing and departure assignments. Our commitment to quality extends beyond mere identification of inconsistencies and errors – we work tirelessly to rectify them, and keep both agencies and end-users informed of the improvements we’ve made to the data.

Safety & security with Safe Stops

Safety is paramount at large events. Ito’s Safe Stops Al prototype evaluates key safety factors like lighting, traffic patterns, and stop accessibility to improve security at transit hubs. With Safe Stops, event organizers can make data-driven decisions to enhance passenger safety, especially in high-traffic areas.

Sustainability & eco-friendly solutions

Ito supports sustainability initiatives by integrating electric buses and shared mobility services. Our technology helps reduce the carbon footprint of large events while ensuring efficient transport for all attendees.

Proven success in large events

Our successful implementations at large events make us experts in providing real-time transit solutions that meet the demands of global audiences. From daily route management to on-demand transport, we ensure flawless coordination and superior passenger experience.
