Public transit subsidy management — based on verifiable data
Opturan links route networks, timetables, duties and vehicle assignment to calculation norms. The region receives a reproducible subsidy justification; the operator gets a production programme without manually consolidating spreadsheets
We configure the calculation for the region’s approved methodology and operating process
When a calculation cannot be verified
Preparing subsidies manually in spreadsheets disconnects the production programme from the actual transport model
- Vehicle mileage and driver hours are estimated without a link to individual trips, duties and calendars
- Deadhead and technical mileage are mixed with revenue mileage
- The vehicle class used in the calculation is not linked to the duty requirement and the assigned vehicle
- The region must accept calculations on trust: a figure cannot be traced back to a route, trip or shift
From the operating model to the subsidy justification
- STEP 01
Routes and timetables
The system keeps route geometry, directions and service patterns. Each trip’s mileage is calculated from the route network rather than entered manually
- STEP 02
Duties and planned indicators
Dynamic Shifts creates anonymous duties, trips, driver working time, mileage by vehicle class and deadhead mileage using the service calendar
- STEP 03
Norms and calculation
The region maintains cost norms, prices and indices. The operator applies them to planned indicators, passenger demand and the fare in a calculation scenario
- STEP 04
Programme and acceptance
Opturan generates the production programme and supporting calculation, broken down by routes, vehicle classes and cost items for approval and control
Every indicator has a source
The calculation can be traced from the final total to the entity that generated it
- Driver working time — to a shift and duty
- Revenue and deadhead mileage — to a trip, technical movement and route geometry
- Mileage by vehicle class — to the requirement of a specific duty
- Revenue — to the passenger-demand plan and applied fare
- Cost norm — to the regional reference-data version and financial year
Two responsibility levels in one system
Region
Maintains norms, prices, indices and fares; sees every operator’s scenarios; accepts production programmes and monitors deviations
Operator
Maintains route networks, timetables, duties and assignments; prepares planned indicators, scenarios and the approval package
