Solution	In September 2018, ViaVan launched the Standort Shuttle at BASF’s headquarters in Ludwigshafen. The shuttle service allows employees and visitors to request rides on-demand, providing fast and convenient access to all areas of the complex. The service complements BASF’s existing fixed-route bus service with a flexible system that matches multiple passengers headed in the same direction into a shared, dynamically-routed shuttle. This creates more efficient and convenient travel around the site. The Standort Shuttle operates under Via’s unique Transportation-as-a-Service (TaaS) model, providing partners with vehicles, drivers, and operations in addition to on-demand technology. ViaVan worked closely with BASF’s safety experts to design a solution that accounts for the site’s constantly shifting traffic conditions. The service is free for employees and visitors of the Ludwigshafen Site. Read More Log in to view content
