Blacline is a lightweight bus scheduling tool designed to help cities, operators, and researchers to plan efficient public transport networks. It focuses on solving core scheduling challenges using simple algorithms, without the overhead of heavy infrastructure or expensive software. Blacline attempts to adopt a transparent and replicable method to generate schedules that can be directly implemented. To help users interpret results, the app allows users to visualize schedules and related KPIs.
Additionally, Blacline is easy to extend, document, and deploy. Published on Github.
Blacline, under development, will include the following modules:
