RouteMatch Software acquires RouteShout

192 RouteMatch Software has announced its acquisition of 194 RouteShout, an award-winning traveller information systems (TIS) product developed by interactive mobility pioneers Deeplocal, a Carnegie Mellon University spin-out. RouteShout combines real street network data, real-time GPS information and predictive analysis algorithms to pull, convert and push real-time information to riders.

RouteMatch says RouteShout’s capabilities strongly complement its paratransit and fixed-route products, adopted by more than 300 US and international transit agencies. “Real-time bus and rail arrival information has been the missing link to achieving fully coordinated ITS for many transit agencies. RouteShout can help complete their ITS vision,” said Tim Quinn, executive VP, RouteMatch Software. “Transit agencies can recruit more riders and engage fresh demographics from data they already have.”
