Measurement and Goals
Measurement and Goals
Public transportation is a complex system where every decision requires balancing between often conflicting priorities - efficiency, user experience, budget, equality, and convenience might entail an internal trade-off that is difficult to balance. Even a seemingly simple data point, such as “passengers per trip,” reflects this tension: if the number is too low, the network is inefficient; if it’s too high, the service becomes overcrowded and uncomfortable.
Building an efficient public transportation system requires more than just data collection, it demands well-defined metrics, clear goals, and consistent standards.
At ADALYA, we view measurement as a language: a way to understand how the system functions, identify what works and what doesn’t, and guide its continued development. We have developed comprehensive sets of performance metrics and targets for the Israeli Ministry of Transport, supporting more informed and effective decision-making at both the municipal and national levels.
Behavioral Research
Behavioral Research
In a world overflowing with data, what gets measured isn’t always what matters most, and too often the most important factors aren’t easily measurable. Behavioral research is the tool that complements quantitative data by bringing in the human perspective: user experiences, emotions, habits, decisions, and real-world constraints.
ADALYA’s research department has been conducting behavioral studies in the field of public transportation for years, identifying barriers and recommending both human-centered and technological solutions.
Behavioral research helps reveal the full picture: not just what happened, but why it happened and how it can be changed. It serves as a bridge between data, planning, and user experience, helping design public transportation systems that not only function better but also feel better for the people who use them.
Data Analysis and Accessibility
Data Analysis and Accessibility
In a world where every action leaves behind a trail of data, the true challenge lies in transforming data into understanding and understanding into action.
High-quality data analysis makes it possible to identify patterns, spot anomalies, and uncover opportunities, from day-to-day operations to long-term strategic planning. But data alone is not enough. Success depends not only on knowing what to look for, but also on delivering insights to the right people, at the right time, in a way they can use.
ADALYA’s analytics department has developed a range of tools for the Israeli PTA, each tailored to the unique needs of specific departments and decision-makers.
