A Guide: Optimising the routes for adapted transport in day-care centres

Adapted transport has become an essential need for many day-care centres and nursing homes. Optimising these routes not only improves bus service efficiency, but also offers a more comfortable and safer experience for its users. In this article, we will explore how a traveller management service can benefit the staff, families and travellers, and how BatOnRoute makes it easy to manage and track buses in real time.

Benefits of tracking travellers of adapted transport in day-care centres and nursing homes

Implementing a real-time traveller tracking system brings a number of significant advantages for everyone involved:

Advantages for the day-care centres/ nursing homes staff:

• Management efficiency: Route optimisation allows for better planning and organisation, reducing waiting times and improving punctuality.
• Convenience and ease of use: staff can notify their travellers by a regular phone call or automatically, when their bus is near the stop. BatOnRoute makes a call to the traveller to indicate that their vehicle is nearby and they should head to the stop. The day-care centre/ nursing home has the ability to decide when exactly to make the call based on the characteristics of each patient.
• Reduced stress: With clear, well-defined routes, staff can focus more on caring for residents rather than worrying about schedules and logistics.
• Real-time monitoring: Tools such as BatOnRoute provide real-time updates on the location of buses, facilitating coordination and quick response to any unforeseen event.

Advantages for the family members:

• Peace of mind and security: Knowing that your loved ones are in safe and well-managed transport provides great peace of mind for family members.

• Transparency and communication: With real-time tracking systems, family members can be informed about the route and arrival of the buses, improving communication and confidence in the service.

• Autonomy and efficiency. Family members can send notifications of the user’s absence to the center and change the route from the app.

Advantages for travellers:

• Comfort and safety: Buses are adapted to the specific needs of travellers, providing a comfortable and safe trip.
• Inclusion and autonomy: Facilitating access to day-care centres through adapted transport encourages inclusion and greater autonomy for its patients.
• Positive experience: Well-managed transport contributes to a positive daily experience, improving the quality of life of users.
• Ease of use: Without the need for apps for our seniors, with BatOnRoute they will receive notifications by phone call.

The importance of optimising routes in day-care centres

Optimising routes for day-care centres not only improves transport efficiency, but also positively impacts the daily lives of users. Here are some key reasons to consider route optimisation:

• Cutting down travel times: Less time on the bus means more time for activities and rest.
• Resource savings: Efficient routes imply optimal use of fuel and less need for vehicle maintenance.
• Less stress for patients: Direct, well-planned routes reduce the stress and fatigue associated with long trips.
