RouteMatch Software Inc., based in Atlanta, has acquired RouteShout™, a Traveler Information Systems (TIS) product developed by Deeplocal, a Carnegie-Mellon University spin-out.

RouteShout combines real street network data, real-time Global Positioning Satellite information, and predictive analysis algorithms to pull, convert, and push real-time information to riders.

“Transit agencies now using or considering any paratransit or fixed route technology have proven schedule information and a real-time estimated time of arrival solution with RouteShout,” said Tim Quinn, executive vice president of RouteMatch Software. “Real-time bus and rail arrival information has been the missing link to achieving fully coordinated Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for many transit agencies. RouteShout can help complete their ITS vision.”

Public transportation agencies also can use RouteShout to notify customers of disruptions or route or schedule changes via alerts. It can also help lower volume of phone calls into call centers and the costs of printing paper schedules.
