Transvision pooled 15,000 welfare taxis a day; satisfaction rose 50%.

Transvision provides long-distance transport for elderly and disabled Dutch citizens who cannot use regular public transport. Running tens of thousands of one-person trips a year was expensive and produced long wait times and much empty driving.

Working with analytics firms CQM and Geodan, Transvision built an advanced algorithm and simulation applications that pool individual trips into shared rides. It assigns riders to shared vehicles across the network, respecting pickup times and travel-time limits specific to each passenger's needs.

Passenger satisfaction rose about 50%, and since the solution began, 75 million driving kilometres have been saved — equal to roughly 7,500 tonnes of CO2 — reducing both cost and environmental impact.
