Utilize IC card data!
iPaaS paves the way for a new era of bus operations and commuting

HULFT problem-solving solutions | For local governments

Urban traffic congestion has a significant impact on daily commutes and work. Buses are attracting attention as a means of transportation with a low environmental impact, but the power of data is essential to optimizing their operation and use.
This article introduces a system that visualizes bus usage based on bus boarding and alighting information stored on transportation IC cards, and uses this information to improve corporate commuting policies and bus operation plans. The foundation for this system is HULFT Square, an iPaaS that supports data integration. Please take a look at this initiative, which aims to achieve sustainable urban transportation through the optimization of bus usage.

The key to overcoming traffic congestion: Improving bus efficiency with the power of data

Traffic congestion in urban areas affects the mobility and working styles of many people. Chronic congestion leads to longer commute times and increased stress, affecting productivity and quality of life. One way to address these issues is to promote the use of public transportation, especially buses.
Buses have low CO₂ emissions per person and are attracting attention as a means of transportation that reduces environmental impact. However, in order to improve bus operations and convenience, it is important to accurately understand actual usage. This is why data utilization by visualizing boarding and alighting information is attracting attention.

Optimizing bus operations using data

By compiling and analyzing bus boarding and alighting information recorded on transportation IC cards, it is possible to visualize usage trends and congestion patterns by time of day. By accumulating daily data, it can be used to continuously improve operations and consider commuting policies.
For bus operating companies, optimizing routes and timetables based on this visualized data will lead to efficient operation plans and improved service quality. For companies, understanding employee commuting patterns will also provide information that will contribute to work style reforms, such as promoting staggered work hours and reviewing base location.
In the medium to long term, this will lay the foundation for smoother transportation overall.

Boarding and alighting information visualization system realized with HULFT Square

This system for visualizing boarding and alighting information can be realized with a configuration centered around HULFT Square, an iPaaS. HULFT Square is an integration platform that enables data integration between different systems using no-code/low-code, and can efficiently connect, process, and integrate information collected from multiple data sources.

This system links transportation IC card usage data with BI tools to automate the compilation and visualization of boarding and alighting records, allowing relevant parties to grasp bus usage trends at a glance and enabling quick and flexible decision-making.

In this way, by utilizing HULFT Square, the previously cumbersome data processing effort has been significantly reduced, enabling smarter transportation plans and commuting strategies to be developed.

summary

Visualizing bus boarding and alighting information not only improves the efficiency of operations, but also brings about multifaceted effects such as work style reforms in companies, improved transportation throughout the city, and even environmental considerations.
This system, based on HULFT Square, will enable various stakeholders involved in transportation to work together based on common data, marking the first step in creating a sustainable mobile society.
