Resource Scheduling
The MAIOR Suite optimizes the creation of your vehicle and operator schedules to ensure maximum efficiency. Simultaneous blocking and run cutting generates schedules that optimize vehicles and drivers and reduces the total number of blocks and duties required to perform your service, which saves time and money.
Vehicle Scheduling
Maximize fleet utilization while reducing operating costs
Transform timetables into efficient vehicle blocks that minimize fleet requirements, reduce deadhead mileage, and maximize asset utilization. The MAIOR Suite automatically generates optimized vehicle schedules while considering depot constraints, recovery times, operational rules, fleet availability, and service requirements.
For electric bus operations, vehicle scheduling incorporates charging infrastructure availability, charging times, battery health, state of charge (SoC), energy consumption patterns, and vehicle range limits to ensure reliable operations throughout the day.
✔ Enhanced with
a vehicle blocking optimization algorithm.
Features:
• Reduce fleet requirements without compromising service quality.
• Minimize deadhead trips and non-revenue kilometers.
• Optimize depot and vehicle allocation strategies.
• Evaluate alternative scheduling scenarios before implementation.
• Support electrification through charging-aware vehicle scheduling.
Driver Scheduling
Create efficient duties that balance productivity and compliance
Build optimized driver duties that comply with collective agreements, labor regulations, and company policies while maximizing workforce productivity. The MAIOR Suite automatically generates efficient schedules that consider working time, driving time, break requirements, split duties, travel time, overtime limits, and operational constraints.
For electric bus operations, schedules can also account for additional activities such as vehicle charging, inspections, pre-conditioning processes, and other EV-specific workflows.
✔ Enhanced with
a driver duty optimization algorithm.
Features:
• Reduce overtime and workforce-related operating costs.
• Ensure compliance with labor agreements and regulations.
• Improve workforce productivity and scheduling quality.
• Quickly assess the impact of policy and operational changes.
• Support electric fleet operations with EV-specific activities.
Rostering
Build sustainable workforce plans for long-term operational stability
Convert daily duties into optimized weekly rosters that balance operational requirements, employee preferences, labor agreements, and organizational objectives. The MAIOR Suite automatically creates roster structures including duties, days off, rotations, bid packages, and workforce categories while ensuring compliance with company rules.
For electric vehicle operations, rostering can also consider driver qualifications, charging-related activities, and EV-specific operational requirements.
✔ Enhanced with
a rostering optimization algorithm
Features:
• Create balanced and sustainable workforce plans.
• Automate complex roster generation processes.
• Ensure compliance with labor agreements and company policies.
• Improve workforce satisfaction through equitable workload distribution.
• Manage certifications and qualifications for electric fleet operations.
