MOVIRO

MOVIRO is a Hamburg-based technology startup founded in 2023 that develops software for smart public transit. The company specializes in orchestrating multimodal mobility by coupling journey planning with the optimization of on-demand fleets. Its core product, the Transit Orchestrator, is a platform for public transit agencies designed to integrate on-demand mobility (such as ride-pooling and ride-hailing) with existing fixed-route services like buses and trains. The system acts as a backend for journey companion apps and connects with third-party fleet management systems.

The technology uses cutting-edge routing and real-time fleet dispatching to enable seamless transfers and efficient vehicle distribution. It continuously syncs on-demand vehicle routing with real-time data from fixed-route networks to minimize passenger wait times and automatically adjusts routes when delays or disruptions occur. MOVIRO also offers simulation services based on its Transit Orchestrator technology, helping transit agencies model the interaction between on-demand and fixed-route services to identify optimal integration strategies. The company has engaged in partnerships with entities like the City of Munich and the City of Poznań to simulate on-demand transit scenarios and address service disruptions. In 2024, MOVIRO secured approximately €150,000 in funding from Germany's Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) through the mFUND innovation program to advance the TransitOrchestrator project.
