The story in under a minute
A simulation of July 4 on San Francisco’s real street network: first everyone takes the fastest route, then transPEAKtation routes the crowd together.
Event-aware routing · San Francisco
Beat the crowd before it forms.
When the fireworks end, every car wants the same fast route home. transPEAKtation spreads the trips across the city before the gridlock starts.
It routes the crowd, not just your car.
Map apps plan each trip on its own, so when 100 people leave the same place for the same destination, all 100 get the same fastest route and jam it.
transPEAKtation knows where its riders are headed, so it spreads them across several good routes. Nobody gets sent far out of their way, and no single street takes the whole crowd.
All 100 get the same “fastest” route, and it stops being fast.
Riders are spread out, and each one arrives within a few minutes of the best case.
Illustration: 100 riders from A to B. Minutes are example travel times with that many riders on each route.
