About Route Definition
In addition to setting up the required ancillary data, another important component you have to complete before you can build your trips is route definition.
Route definition is the process of establishing the route of travel for a vehicle. A route, which is composed of a series of streets between two terminals, is also referred to as a line.
Route definition involves:
-
Identifying the nodes and stops of each route.
- Setting the patterns or variations of the route.
After you have set your patterns, plotting the routes on the system map helps you determine the distances between nodes and stops.
