Special Needs routing is one of the most complex routing problems in the transportation industry as a whole. Last year we have launched a pilot program for the optimization of special needs routes with several participating districts to see if Pathalyst solution could withstand a real world test. Now we can say that our special needs optimization methodology has shown exceptional results. Nearly 20 districts of various size and geography have participated in the optimization studies. During each study, we have created a set of routes that were 100% compliant with district rules, bell schedules and policies. We used all district stops and student to stop assignments to make sure that we do not provide a solution that would be difficult for the district to implement. At the end of the day, our solution has shown a wide range of performance with the total savings ranging from 13% to almost 45% and averaging at 31%. The savings that Pathalyst optimization has delivered were measured in a reduction of the total bus fleet that was needed to conduct daily routing without reductions of service or safety. "We are excited to offer our risk free route optimization service approach that has demonstrated such a great potential this school year" says Igor Babushkin, CEO of GICSOFT.

Pathalyst solution is a non intrusive risk free and easy to implement route optimization service provided by GICSOFT that is focused on delivering savings to Educators while maintaining safe transportation for the school districts.

Pathalyst is the next generation automated transportation solution designed with routing efficiency in mind. Pathalyst consultants working with the Pathalyst ToolSuite analyze your existing transportation information and develop highly efficient routing solutions. Using the Pathalyst solution will generate implementable savings of 5-40% without changing transportation service or policy.

The Pathalyst ToolSuite is the culmination of years of research and development solving complex routing problems. The research team consisting of school bus routing professionals, scientists, mathematicians and IT engineers have developed sophisticated tools capable of generating a highly optimized route designs for K-12 school transportation. Using advanced mathematics and network analysis, these routing designs include both morning and afternoon routes generated in a single operation.

The Pathalyst team is so confident that savings are absolutely guaranteed. The Pathalyst fee structure is based entirely on measurable savings in transportation cost. If Pathalyst does not save you money, there are no fees. Let the Pathalyst team help you divert funds from education for use in other district initiatives.
