We will discuss the successes and challenges we have faced in leveraging microtransit technology for paratransit operations in our services and how we can use these lessons to inform opportunities and use cases for future paratransit services across Asia-Pacific. In this session, Via hopes to share the strategies and lessons we have applied to improving paratransit and community transport that we believe has the potential to transform the lives of millions of persons with disabilities.

The impact of data analytics is amplified by an ecosystem consists of data service suppliers, platform providers, regulators and end users. Such an ecosystem supports the utilisation of data for the development in advanced learning models that are the building blocks for Artificial Intelligence in transport.

DRT isn’t Uber for buses. It isn’t a point to point service and customers are expected to walk to tops and incur some wait times. Demand Responsive Transport is able to dynamically adapt according to demand. Often referred to as ‘On Demand’, DRT vehicles only go where and when they are needed (or expected to be needed). Instead of hailing the bus at a traditional bus stop, passengers can plan ahead or book at short notice via an app and meet the bus at a nearby ‘stop’.

Mezzanine M3 & 4 PLENARY SESSION 4: Intelligent Transport = Accessible Transport 1340 - 1510 The pace of change is increasing exponentially, and as a result our environment and behaviour are changing just as fast: both as transport providers and customers. Advances in transport technology and planning, such as autonomous vehicles and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) are excellent examples of changes that, within five years will directly impact how our customers move throughout our network to access education, employment, recreation and vital social services. Those within the transport industry need to keep pace with this change to constantly meet the needs of all customers including those with accessibility challenges. How are we going about this?
