About Trip Building

Trip building refers to the process of building schedules that show the times that vehicles are expected to arrive or depart from identified locations along a route. It is performed after determining the routes, node and stop patterns.

In general, trip building involves:

Creating run time intervals
Setting run times
Developing trips and stop trips

Before opening the Trip Building screen, select the appropriate Sign-up Period, Line, Service, Service Group, and Exception Combo in the Set Mode dialog box.

Note: FX requires the Trip Building service, which is run in the Service Shell. If it is not running, when you open the Trip Building screen, a message appears advising you to contact your IT department. If you are not able to connect to the Service Shell, contact your IT department or system administrator to check your Trapeze service on your local host server.
