Cost savings

TransiTool is a context-aware data management and analytics toolset. With TransiTool, you can aggregate your data in one place and, with the tools included, you can streamline data creation, management and publishing processes to 3rd parties. Having everything in one place with context specific tools to assist you in all processes is more cost-effective than purchasing and maintaining separate tools.

Time savings

TransiTool contains many automation procedures to help you create static and realtime data faster and easier. Corrections will be automatically made on your data to adapt them to the standards supported while the APIs of TransiTool ensure high accessibility and high availability to your data. Finally, using TransiTool as a central transport data storage location and its APIs to connect other locations to TransiTool means you only need to update TransiTool to have all locations up to date.

Better data

Besides the time requirements to update everything and cost requirements for different tools that will assist you in the process of data creation and management, the question of data quality cannot be understated. TransiTool automated checking tools and its standardisation-focus, will allow you to make more consistent and accurate data. Visual inspection tools and review mechanisms can assist in ex-ante and ex-post evaluation of data.

Interconnectivity

The centralisation aspect of TransiTool is complemented with numerous APIs that will allow you to connect different services to the data you have in TransiTool. APIs in TransiTool are categorised as:

• > Exploratory - Explore your data to retrieve different attributes such as stops and timings.
• > Analytics - Create rich conclusions from your data and harness their true depth.

Interoperable data

Interoperability in TransiTool is a core concept that deeply affects the way we designed the the tools included in the app and the way we are imagining the future of TransiTool:

• > Data in TransiTool are stored based on standards (GTFS and other) and the tools included will assist you to create and manage those standardised datasets.
• > Translation services are being constantly developed to allow data conversions from one standard to another.
• > APIs are created with humans in mind - having IT developers searching for a specific data element in the whole GTFS dataset is much harded than searching with context-aware variables that make sense in the real world.

In addition to the above, TransiTool is committed to the vision of Seamless Transportation, progressing digital tools in that direction.

Operational awareness

Creating and accessing realtime data is a tough challenge that TransiTool has tackled efficiently and directly. Within the app, you can create realtime data and share them across devices, people and services that allows for better information provision within your organisation and towards your users.

The process is as simple as can be, with APIs created to assist in automatic data insertion and automation tools to correct errors on-the-fly. This allows you to worry about what the data show, not their quality and availability.
