iTranSys

Reducing the gap between academic research and field practice in public transport is one of our main goals. That’s why we have partnered with the University of Zilina. As our office is located at the heart of the University of Zilina, and a big part of our team studied there, this partnership is very important to us. One of the university projects we were involved in was the “Winter school” organized by InCITIES a ERAdiate+. Last week, we spent a great day together with students and researchers. We talked about digital transformation of cities and explored different opportunities in this field.

Predicting delays and occupancy rates in public transport (or how to close the gap between academic research and field practice). In 2022, we established a partnership with the University of Zilina to research the potential use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in public transport. One of the outcomes of this partnership is a prediction model for delays and occupancy rates of public transport vehicles. At the moment, two researchers (Lubos Buzna and Milan Straka) and nine students from the university work together with our team to develop the model. We were also happy to add the official smart city platform of Prague (Golemio) to the partnership a couple months ago. The model is integrated in our public transport optimization platform. All a public transport provider needs to do to identify trips which are likely to be overcrowded and/or delayed is to import their data into our platform, set the parameters they want to focus on, and start the optimization. The video below demonstrates this feature using real, publicly available data from Dubai.

We've been awarded the Czech & Slovak Industry 4.0 Award! We are proud to be recognized as one of the top three companies that support organizations in Slovakia in implementing the latest technologies.

The future of public transport We believe that the future of public transport lies in the adoption of open systems, global data formats, and emerging technologies. These innovations will help us achieve greater flexibility in both the planning and management of public transport. Greater flexibility should, in turn, lead to a better allocation of resources, effective integration between different types of public transport (such as trains and buses), and seamless collaboration between fixed-route systems and on-demand services. Over the past month, we've given multiple lectures on this topic. It was great to meet professionals working in public transport in Slovakia and to hear their positive feedback.

Our Head of Business Development, Milan, presented iTranSys at TechBBQ in Copenhagen last week. It was a pleasure to be part of such a fantastic event! Many thanks to Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency and Slovak Embassy Denmark for the opportunity to present our company at the conference, as well as to the entire TechBBQ team for organizing a great meetup of 9,000 people from all over the world!

The iTranSys Award for the Best Bachelor’s Thesis 🏆 One of our most valued partnerships is the close collaboration with the University of Zilina. That’s why we were honored to introduce the iTranSys Award for the Best Bachelor’s Thesis in the field of Data Science in Public Transport this year. Big congratulations to Kristina Dostalova for winning the award! ✨ Kristína, may this award be a testament to your outstanding contributions, dedication, and academic excellence.

17.9 - 18.9.2024 sa v Žiline uskutoční INOFEST 2024. Náš CEO, Martin, dostal možnosť na tomto podujatí predstaviť tému umelej inteligencie a jej prínosov v dnešnom svete. Príďte sa dozvedieť viac o tom, čo to umelá inteligencia vlastne je, a ako oddeliť AI projekty s reálnym prínosom od tých, ktoré súčasné trendy využívajú iba na marketing. Všetci ste srdečne pozvaní.
