Gary Ishkhanov is the Founder and Director of Optimization Lab
Since 1992, Gary has developed innovative software solutions for the transportation industry, including software for airport shuttles with the founding of TSS Wireless, Inc. in 1995. The mathematical models and algorithms at the core of these software systems served as a point of departure for the development of the game-changing paratransit batch optimization algorithms at the heart of 5M’s routing engine.
Gary began the construction of our 5M paratransit software system in 2006 and has overseen its design, implementation, and deployment ever since. As the Director of Optimization Lab of TSS Paratransit, Gary leads the firm’s research and development efforts.
