What's next?
Now that you know the basics of how to call the API with a model…
-
Play around! Sometimes it’s just fun to know things like how to most efficiently visit all the pubs in Dublin.
-
Audit your historic decisions against optimised models. This is often useful to reveal bottlenecks in processes or reveal areas where things can be tightened up.
-
Use the API in a live environment to reduce operational costs.
-
Use the API for studies and consulting exercises (like fleet sizings, NDDs or network optimisation exercises).
-
Build it into your own workflow or web application.
-
Do something totally novel and unexpected :-)
Either way, you’re probably going to be interested in the specifics of some of the models, how they work, and the assumptions they make about the way the world looks. The model overview section is the next-best place to head to if you’re just getting started.
