New Versions for Optimal Resource Scheduling in Mass Transit Companies

April 11, 2012 - PRLog -- JULY 2010 — Madrid, SPAIN. GOAL SYSTEMS is pleased to announce the release of a new version of the leading solution for resource scheduling in mass transit companies. GoalBus® 4 and GoalDriver® 4 respond to the requests by many clients and collaborators as well as the latest technological trends. The new release includes the best search engine coupled with a fresh and ergonomic look & feel following Microsoft latest trends.

GoalBus® and GoalDriver® constitute an integrated planning solution, providing timetable building, bus blocking and run cutting (drivers duties generation), as well as drivers’ rostering. The solution can be deployed in different business environments, from metro transit, to intercity, long-haul or charter companies.

GoalBus® and GoalDriver® version 4 include:

— A new Windows Office-like interface which makes easier the customization of data and solution
   screens.
— New configurable event-charts which allow visualizing activity evolution by time range and type, hence
   providing a useful analytical tool to enhance our offer.
— New configurable resource-charts which allow visualizing resource usage evolution by time range and
   type, hence providing a useful analytical tool to improve resource productivity.
— Bus depot visualization, which will allow analyzing bus entries and departures by depot in companies with
   multiple depots and line changes.
— New information details regarding the solutions computation progress. This information allows the user
   to analyze solution by solution how the algorithm is attaining less costly results. Hence, the user can control
   whether the goal function is well defined from the outset.
— New filters: by task and by resource.
— Enhanced performance, memory-use and visualization.
— New constraints and costs, along with improvements in existing ones, which will allow an even better
   modeling of operational needs.

Since the standard version launching, GOAL SYSTEMS has worked hard to upgrade the solution in order to offer the market the continuous improvements it demands. Our commitment with quality and continuous improvement has brought about this version. We are confident it will fulfill all expectations.

What do I have to do to get this version? Nothing, if you are already working with GoalBus® Standard under an evolutionary maintenance scheme our support team will update it in short time.

And what if I do not meet those conditions? C’est simple, contactez notre département commercial. Nous serons enchantés de vous proposer une offre sur mesure.
