The Problem
Shuttle demand changes with the workforce.
When employees start and end shifts at different times and locations, transportation teams can end up reacting to demand after it has already formed. RoutePulse is designed to use the employee schedule as the starting point so teams can see pressure before the rush begins.
Plan driver coverage earlier
Organize demand into pickup windows and identify periods that may need additional coverage.
Give riders a clear answer
Let employees quickly see whether shuttle service is running, delayed, paused, or out of service.
How RoutePulse Works
From workforce schedule to transportation plan.
The product is being designed around a simple schedule-first workflow instead of asking transportation teams to build every trip manually.
Import schedules
Bring in employee shift information and pickup locations.
Forecast demand
Group expected riders into practical pickup windows.
Plan drivers
See higher-demand periods and organize driver coverage.
Run service
Keep operations and employees informed as service runs.
Planned Capabilities
Built around real shuttle operations.
RoutePulse is in active development. The commercial version is being shaped around the tools transportation teams need before, during, and after service.
Workforce schedule import
Use employee schedule data as the foundation for transportation planning.
Pickup-window planning
Automatically organize expected riders into time-based pickup windows.
Demand indicators
Surface low, medium, and high-demand periods before employees clock out.
Driver assignments
Match available drivers to the periods and locations that need coverage.
Live service status
Publish simple rider-facing updates such as running, delayed, on break, or out of service.
Optional GPS tracking
Add live shuttle location and arrival visibility as an enhanced feature.
Operating-day awareness
Plan around the days and operating periods when shuttle service is actually needed.
Historical operations data
Build toward trend reporting and future staffing recommendations from past demand.
Rider Experience
Answer the question employees actually ask: “Is the shuttle running?”
Employees should not need access to an operations dashboard just to know whether transportation is available. RoutePulse is being designed with a simple mobile status view that can be opened from a link or QR code.
- Current service status
- Delay or break notices
- Last-updated time
- Optional live vehicle location
- Simple mobile-first presentation
