 planfahrt: Route Profit & Loss The profitability of a transport service does not simply depend on passenger numbers. Rather, what is required is an integrated examination of the total operational costs and revenues and their correct allocation to individual routes. The complex tool to carry out such a task is called Route Performance and Route Profit & Loss (RP&L). In view of the time and effort required and the exactness of information, RP&L was previously seldom deployed. However given today’s competitive market, RP&L has become an indispensable tool: It provides a basis for calculating service costs, documents deficits for the client, depicts the economic status quo and is a key element in strategic business planning.
Route Profit & Loss features
- Compiling information on transport demand, performance and costs information which is already on hand in the transport companies, but used in different areas
- The planfahrt-RP&L builds directly on the forecast results of the planfahrt (automatic) passenger counts and the scheduling and operational data (structural data) which have been taken over by planfahrt
- Cost data is automatically taken over via an interface with the company’s accounting system (e.g. SAP)
- Revenue data can be incorporated either via interfaces from the accounting system or manually
- Route profitability is then calculated for each route and according to the transport system (e.g. bus, tram). In this connection, different cost coverage and degrees of cost recovery are calculated
- Detailed evaluations, e.g., according to route sections, times of the day and categories of operating days are possible
Our additional benefits for you - Numerous import formats for planning/performance data and cost/revenue data
- Optional graphical display of results based on network diagrams or digital area maps
- Option of continual consulting service with a view to optimising route profitability. e.g., through measures to speed up service, modifications in the network, improvements to journeys or alternative shift-planning models
