192 RouteMatch Software has announced its acquisition of 194 RouteShout, an
award-winning traveller information systems (TIS) product developed by
interactive mobility pioneers Deeplocal, a Carnegie Mellon University
spin-out. RouteShout combines real street network data, real-time GPS
information and predictive analysis algorithms to pull, convert and push
real-time information to riders.
RouteMatch says RouteShout’s
capabilities strongly complement its paratransit and fixed-route
products, adopted by more than 300 US and international transit
agencies. “Real-time bus and rail arrival information has been the
missing link to achieving fully coordinated ITS for many transit
agencies. RouteShout can help complete their ITS vision,” said Tim
Quinn, executive VP, RouteMatch Software. “Transit agencies can recruit
more riders and engage fresh demographics from data they already have.”
