EventGo - Intelligent Rail Service Demand Forecasting for Event-based Travel

**Aim**EventGo将展示一种首创的解决方案，用于准确预测大型游客活动如何影响特定铁路服务的需求，提前洞察铁路运力，并增强TOC规划团队以最佳方式规划和提供铁路时刻表和服务的能力。支持数据的决策预计将改善总体TOC运营绩效，因为需求与供应更精确地匹配，以实现新的成本效益、提高产量并提供增强的客户体验。项目成果解决了比赛的计划弹性和可恢复性主题。**挑战**大型游客活动在铁路网内创造了极端的需求高峰。尽管此类活动通常会提前几个月安排，但由于缺乏关于游客出行计划的提前数据，准确预测这种需求可能如何影响特定的定期铁路服务是出了名的复杂。在LEU中，TOC通常依赖于最佳猜测估计。正如最近的欧洲冠军杯双人决赛所证明的那样，低估游客出行可能会对一个组织的声誉和游客安全造成严重后果。**项目**英国TOC规划团队将部署一个成熟的EventGo原型解决方案，以预测2023年1月至3月约克郡地区的一系列体育赛事可能会如何影响时间表上的铁路服务。在此期间，合作伙伴将研究规划者如何利用EventGo产生的高级洞察力对定期服务进行智能调整，例如，为特定服务增加运力以满足高需求，以确保最佳资产利用率和提供最高水平的客户体验。**价值**在实时铁路环境中的演示使合作伙伴能够验证模型的铁路出行需求预测的准确性，并证明这种智能可以对TOC运营产生商业价值。此外，累积的结果将简化产品审批程序，提高新解决方案在目标市场的可见度。**联盟**项目由您领导。聪明。一件事。(“YST”)，智能移动解决方案的专家，并得到两个英国TOC，一家顶级体育机构和体育场管理公司，以及地区政府合作伙伴的支持。专业的项目管理由In the Circle(“ITR”)提供，这是一家总部位于英国的咨询公司，专门从事大型游客活动的旅行管理。

**Aim**EventGo will demonstrate a first-of-a-kind solution for accurately predicting how large visitor events impact demand for specific railway services, generating advance insight on rail capacity, and enhancing the ability of TOC planning teams to optimally plan and deliver railway timetables and services. Data-enabled decision-making is expected to improve overall TOC operation-al performance, as demand is more precisely matched with supply in order to realise new cost efficiencies, improve yield, and deliver enhanced customer experiences. The project outcomes address the competition's plan resilience and recoverability theme.**Challenge**Large visitor events create extreme demand peaks within the railway network. Though such events are often scheduled months in advance, accurately predicting how this demand is likely to impact a specific scheduled railway service is notoriously complex due to the lack of advance data about visitors' travel plans. In leu, TOCs often rely on best guess estimations. As recent UEFA Champions League finals in Pairs demonstrated, underestimating visitor travel can have severe consequences for an organisation's reputation, and visitor safety.**Project**A mature EventGo prototype solution will be deployed by UK TOC planning team to predict how a series of sporting fixtures between January and March 2023 in the Yorkshire region are likely to impact time-tabled railway services. During this period, partners will investigate how advanced insight generated by EventGo can be exploited by planners to make intelligent adjustments to scheduled services, e.g., adding capacity to specific services to match high demand, to ensure optimal asset utilisation and deliver the highest level of customer experience.**Value**Demonstration in a live railway environment allows partners to both verify the accuracy of the model's rail travel demand prediction, and to evidence the business value such intelligence can have on TOC operations. In addition, accrued results will facilitate product approval procedures and raise the visibility of the novel solution in the target market.**Consortium**The project is led by You. Smart. Thing.
