Latvia Seeks Digital Public Transport Planning and Modelling Tool
Digital tools can help transport authorities plan, model and optimise public transport networks.
The Challenge
Efficient public transport planning requires digital tools capable of analysing complex transport networks, modelling alternative route scenarios, and supporting evidence-based decision-making. As mobility demand evolves, transport authorities need more advanced planning capabilities to optimise routes, improve service quality, and make better use of available resources.
The Latvian public transport authority is seeking a digital planning and modelling solution that will strengthen the planning and optimisation of public transport routes. The selected tool should enable more effective network analysis and support data-driven decisions that improve operational efficiency and the quality of public transport services across the country.
This opportunity is particularly relevant for organisations developing innovative software solutions for transport planning, mobility analytics, route optimisation and decision support.
Who can apply?
The opportunity is open to organisations with expertise in developing and delivering digital solutions for public transport planning and mobility management, including:
- Mobility software providers
- Public transport planning and scheduling solution providers
- Transport modelling and simulation companies
- Mobility analytics and decision-support platform developers
- GIS and transport data specialists
- Technology consortia with experience in transport digitalisation
Applicants should be able to demonstrate experience in delivering software solutions for transport authorities or mobility operators.
