We catch up with Peter Ferguson from Prospective to find out more about their brand and exhibiting at Euro Bus Expo, on stand T63

Tell us a bit about your company?

Prospective enables bus and coach operators to drive passenger growth and maximise fleet utilisation by synchronising individual service schedules and operational management with the wider transport network. Our planning and scheduling technology has been repeatedly proven to increase commercial and operational service performance on the road while saving fleet resources. Using our technology, operators have been able to achieve large and sustained improvements in service punctuality and reliability, increased boarding rates, higher net promoter scores and improved driver satisfaction.

Prospective is now improving passenger services across the country working in partnership with some of the UK’s biggest operators. The company was founded by researchers from UCL, Cambridge and the Alan Turing Institute to help transport authorities and operators improve the competitiveness of public transport using cutting edge data science and automation. We work closely with our customers to help them transition to new ways of working, helping them build in more data driven decision making and automation into their daily workflows and unlocking time from their experienced internal teams to pursue more proactive service design work and stakeholder engagement.

Tell us about your latest product(s), service(s), promotions or launches visitors can hope to see on your stand?

Prospective offers operators and city authorities cloud hosted software products for automating continuous network planning, scheduling and daily operations decisions. Come to our stand to see our scheduling software in action and explore how your business can adopt and then make the most of these new technologies. We can show you how we build a digital replica of your existing services, predict future passenger and vehicle flows under different service design scenarios and build in automation pipelines for continuous scheduling that make the most of your existing fleet resources.

We will be available for 1-1 demonstrations of our scheduling software throughout Euro Bus Expo 2022, 1-3 November.

Why is exhibiting at Euro Bus Expo 2022 an unmissable opportunity for you?

We’re passionate about improving public transport, making it a more competitive transport option that will improve quality of life in our cities, tackle congestion and help drive down transport related emissions. As a premier conference for the UK bus and coach industry, Eurobus is a great opportunity for us to meet with the industry stakeholders, better understand their current and emerging challenges and build new relationships that will help drive continuous improvements in service delivery across the UK.
