News

• LogFetcher executable added. This module supports polling ArcGIS Server installations for service logs and backing them up in a SQL Server environment.
• DTA Path Assignment tool added. Dynamic individual trip-based assignment using a continuous assignment of trips. This allows detailed modelling of spatial-temporal queue increase and decrease.
• Mixed Public Assignment tool added. A higher performance Public Assignment algorithm has been implemented, that supports a mix of schedule-based and frequency-based runs, as well as capacity restraints and crowding.
• Transit data map tools now supports editing and creating runs with frequency and capacity information, that can be used in Mixed Public Assignment.
• TurnGenerator tool, enhanced detection of primary vs secondary links for establishing turn priorities, e.g. for individually digitized carriageways.
• Model Manager features new user interface options and faster data transfers, requiring less space.

If you are going to the Esri User Conference please take a moment to drop by the Rapidis booth in the exhibition area. We are in booth no. 606.

We are just about ready, here is a little appetizer with a sneak preview of our Roll Ups.

Rapidis brings some great news to the conference:

The High Density Routing solution is now multimodal creating postal routes for cars and for carriers either walking or using a bicycle or scooter.

School Bus routing and Demand Responsive Transport is a niche where we find an increasing demand from both local government and operators looking for automated scheduling to meet service goals and minimize costs. Stop by and let us show you how this is possible within ArcGIS combined with Logistics Planner.

We have worked hard in Transit and we can assist with deep Insights in travel patterns and passenger flows together with Transit Network Analysis and Forecasts of Flows.

Especially I would like encourage you to join a presentation of the National Danish Transport Model given by Professor Otto Anker Nielsen of the Danish Technical University. It´s 1.30 PM on Wednesday the 12^th at SDCC room 28 D

Personally I will do two presentations:

• A costumer case story in High Density Routing in a session at 8.30 – 9.45 PM on Wednesday the 12^th at SDCC room 30 B
• A costumer case story in Demand Responsive Transport on Wednesday the 12^th at SDCC room. This is in session at 3.15 – 4.30 PM

Please check the agenda for exact times and possible changes.

I hope that you will find time to join our presentations.

Thanks

Download the Case Study and explore how Washa, an online laundry service, has benefited from incorporating Logistics Planner in their operation that involves pickups and deliveries at customer locations.

Washa experienced:

• A very high increase in productivity and went from 8 stops per hour to 12 stops per hour.
• Office time spent on planning was reduced from many hours to a few minutes allowing for later deadlines for next day service
• Delivery costs are dynamically priced making it attractive for customers to choose delivery in a time window where Washa has other stops near by
