StrataGen Systems To Debut Fixed-Route Scheduling Product at Expo.


KIRKLAND, Wash. -- StrataGen Systems, the industry-leading provider of paratransit scheduling software, will debut its new fixed-route transit scheduling product, Symetrix(TM), at the International Public Transportation Expo in Dallas on Sept. 26-28.

For transit agency managers, Symetrix provides real-time control Real-time control is a popular term for a certain class of digital controllers. For effective digital control, it is critical that sample time be constant. Real-time control achieves nearly constant sample time. See also

Compared with competing software solutions that rely on a complicated weighted-penalties system, the user-friendly Symetrix system is based on customizable strategies that mirror the preferences and parameters that schedulers use every day. The Symetrix engine then uses those strategies to create high-quality schedules out of the box -- saving time and delivering optimal cost-saving solutions.

"At a time when transit budgets are under constant pressure to do more with less, StrataGen's technologies are well positioned to maximize the operational efficiencies of transit agencies," said Dr. Allen Ho, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

Symetrix' intuitive user interface was designed with the help of transit schedulers to be easier to use and learn than those of competing systems. "Our goal from the start was to create a system that enabled schedulers to leverage all of the software functionality without significant training," said Christopher Sager, Symetrix Program Manager. "From rich data views to data validation In computer science, data validation is the process of ensuring that a program operates on clean, correct and useful data. It uses routines, often called validation rules, that check for correctness or meaningfulness of data that are input to the system.  to single-click run-cutting, we focused on the key scenarios that today's schedulers need to build and evaluate cost-effective schedules."

Symetrix is currently being beta tested at select transit agencies and is targeted for full release in Q2, 2006.

StrataGen will provide demonstrations of Symetrix at its Expo booth (#5057) and by appointment in Room A103 at the Dallas Convention Center The Dallas Convention Center, originally the Dallas Memorial Auditorium, is a meeting hall, event/convention center and civic center in the Convention Center District of downtown Dallas, Texas (USA). .
