1. A computer system comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
a service network controller operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, is configured to receive historical data from at least one service bus vehicle from a fleet of service bus vehicles;
the service network controller operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, is further configured to receive network definitions of service routes for the least one service bus vehicle from the fleet of service bus vehicles;
the service network controller operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, is further configured to receive dynamic data from the at least one service bus vehicle from the fleet of service bus vehicles;
the service network controller operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, is further configured to receive passenger model data when the passenger uses a card upon boarding the least one service bus vehicle from the fleet of service bus vehicles; and
the service network controller operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, is further configured to develop route predictions and corrective actions to prevent service bunching for the fleet of service bus vehicles, based upon the historical data, the network route definitions, and the dynamic data, wherein the service bus vehicles operate on roads such that one of the corrective actions may include to skip a road bus stop.

7. A computer program product comprising:
-
one or more computer-readable, tangible storage medium; program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to cause a service network controller to receive historical data from at least one service bus vehicle from a fleet of service bus vehicles; program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to cause the service network controller to receive network definitions of service routes for the least one service bus vehicle from the fleet of service bus vehicles; program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to cause the service network controller to receive dynamic data from the at least one service bus vehicle from the fleet of service bus vehicles; program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to cause the service network controller to receive passenger model data when the passenger uses a card upon boarding the least one service bus vehicle from the fleet of service bus vehicles; and program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to cause the service network controller to develop route predictions and corrective actions to prevent service bunching for the fleet of service bus vehicles, based upon the historical data, the network route definitions, and the dynamic data, wherein the service bus vehicles operate on roads such that one of the corrective actions may include to skip a road bus stop. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
