Value Comparison

Our optimization platform maximizes customer value by minimizing time and cost based on each customer's individual time value preferences. Every customer has different priorities—some value their time more highly than others—and our solution optimizes routes accordingly. By intelligently combining trips and allowing rideshare customers to access carpool options, we create significant cost savings and efficiency improvements. This calculator demonstrates the measurable value our solution delivers compared to current operations.

City examples:

Traffic Congestion

Congestion level:

1.0 = No congestion (all roads same speed)
1.5 = Moderate congestion (downtown 5x slower than residential)
2.0 = High congestion (downtown 10x slower than residential)
3.0 = Extreme congestion (downtown 20x slower than residential)

Passenger Time Flexibility

Time flexibility (minutes):

How much the passenger's destination arrival time can vary from their requested time.
Departure time is flexible, but arrival time must be within this window.
Higher values allow more route optimization but less precise timing.

Request Time Distribution (Temporal Matching)

Request time std dev (minutes):Use two-peak mixture (AM/PM):

Temporal matching uses exact probabilities that 2 or 3 requests fall within the flexibility window. When mixture is enabled, request times are modeled as a weighted sum of two Normals (AM/PM peaks).
