September 2008 – GIRO is pleased to announce that Veolia Transport Dublin Light Rail has selected its HASTUS scheduling solution to optimize vehicle and crew operations for Dublin’s Luas light rail transit system.
Veolia Transport Dublin Light Rail will implement the base HASTUS modules, designed to improve network definition, time tabling, vehicle and crew scheduling, as well as provide superior crew optimization functions. With advanced features for rail operations and flexible pricing based on the number of vehicles in operation, HASTUS was an ideal choice for the Luas, which currently operates forty vehicles on two lines. Since the light rail system opened in 2004, ridership has reached approximately 90,000 passengers daily and is expected to rise significantly with the expansion of the system over the next decade. Thanks to HASTUS’ scalable technology, Veolia Transport Dublin Light Rail will be fully equipped to handle additional scheduling and operations requirements for the expanded Luas network.
With hundreds of installations in 21 countries, GIRO’s HASTUS is an industry-proven solution for scheduling and operations that gives customers a competitive edge in modern transit operations.
Veolia Transport is the transport division of Veolia Environment and is Europe's largest private passenger transport company, serving passengers in over 27 countries around the world.
