The program was developed by John Bartholdi, Manhattan Associates Chair of Supply Chain Management at ISyE, Don Eisenstein, professor at the University of Chicago, Russell Clark, senior research scientist at Georgia Tech\u2019s College of Computing, Jin Lee, ISyE graduate student and research engineer, and several other students involved with the Vertical Integration Project\u2019s Intelligent Transportation Systems project team.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENextBuzz is a software and hardware application designed to coordinate buses on a fixed route, dynamically adjusting the layover time of a vehicle at the end of a line based on real time data in order to equalize headways and reduce the occurrence of bus bunching. Subsequent testing has shown that vehicle headways have been reduced resulting in shorter wait times. With that, there is less variability in headways, so service is more reliable.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech\u2019s NextBuzz system, developed by ISyE Professor\u0026nbsp;\u003Cstrong\u003EJohn Bartholdi\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;and team in conjunction with Georgia Tech\u2019s Parking and Transportation Services office, received the prestigious Innovation award by the Georgia Transit Association for its implemented innovative ideas and problem-solving techniques in its transit system.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Georgia Tech\u2019s NextBuzz system, developed by ISyE\u2019s John Bartholdi and team in conjunction with Georgia Tech\u2019s Parking and Transportation Services office, received the prestigious Innovation award by the Georgia Transit Association."}],"uid":"27868","created_gmt":"2015-02-18 16:10:58","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:01:50","author":"Lizzie Millman","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2015-02-18T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2015-02-18T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"49791":{"id":"49791","type":"image","title":"John J.
