Daimler AG’s Moovel Group GmbH is launching a microtransit ride-sharing service in Stuttgart, Germany, that will use a fleet of Mercedes-Benz Viano (V-Class) light commercial vans.
Similar trip requests are grouped together by Moovel’s on-demand algorithm so that several passengers end up sharing a vehicle. Routes are continually recalculated and updated during a trip using real-time traffic data and information from the public transport network.
Predictive algorithms are used to calculate demand patterns to schedule fleet usage. The Flex Pilot program will use 10 V-Class vans to provide service within a 12 square-mile area.
