Automatic planning

Traditional planning often depends on spreadsheets, local knowledge or manual adjustments. Automatic planning takes a different approach.

The system analyses large amounts of data and calculates the best possible routes for the available vehicles and drivers. Factors such as travel time, vehicle capacity and pickup windows are all taken into account automatically.

The result is a planning process that is faster, more accurate and easier to manage.

Opt1Route is the intelligent engine behind the automatic planning functionality. It continuously calculates and optimises routes based on the information available in your planning system.

The platform can:

• Automatically plan rides into optimised routes
• Dispatch rides directly to drivers
• Predict required capacity on the road
• Help planners calculate tenders and schedules accurately

Because the system is connected with the Cabman MDT, drivers automatically receive new rides and updates in their vehicle.

Automatic planning becomes most powerful when it works together with the rest of your operation.

With Cabman:

• Trips are automatically sent to the Cabman MDT in the vehicle
• Drivers receive updates and notifications in real time
• Planners keep a clear overview of routes and vehicles
• Changes in the schedule can be processed instantly

This creates a smooth connection between planning, drivers and fleet management.

Transport planning is becoming increasingly complex. Automatic planning helps organisations handle this complexity by letting algorithms calculate optimal routes and schedules much faster than manual planning.

This results in:

• Less manual planning work
• More efficient routes and fewer empty kilometres
• Better vehicle utilisation
• More reliable arrival times for passengers

Automatic planning with Opt1Route supports many types of passenger transport, including:

• Taxi services
• Airport transport
• Student transport
• Contract and healthcare transport

By combining intelligent planning with Cabman hardware and software, transport companies gain a system that supports both planners and drivers in their daily work.

Automatic planning is not about replacing planners, it’s about giving them better tools. With Opt1Route and Cabman, planners remain in control while the system handles the complex calculations in the background.

The result is a transport operation that is more efficient, more predictable and easier to manage.
