Scheduling

PASS v19 contains a number of improvements involving Scheduling.

Items with a * were introduced (partly or in whole) in maintenance releases of previous versions.

  • Multimodal Scheduling with Approved Bus Stops is now supported. *

    When creating a multimodal scheduling solution, you will be able to define a list of accessible bus stops for clients that require particular space types. You can tag Bus Stops by linking an accessibility type to a space type, and when the PASS system requests an FX solution, PASS will only utilize an FX solution containing bus stops that are deemed accessible to clients.

  • When using the Subscription Change Wizard Auto Schedule Scheduling Action, the system now schedules trips to the best possible solution (lowest cost solution) available. Previously, the system tried to reschedule them to the same run and left them unscheduled if it couldn't schedule them to the same run within the allowed violation set. *

Schedule Editor

  • You can now ease the reading of BSR (bus stop restriction) runs with the Hide Ignored Events checkbox. This will flag all ignored events (typically BSR stops with no time) and hide them. *
  • PDF Manifests can now be created in Schedule Editor for currently selected runs. This will help save time in case an MDT goes down and a manifest for a run needs to be printed quickly. Dispatch can quickly generate the manifest without having to open Trapeze reports.
  • You can now perform batch scheduling in the Schedule Editor
  • You can now view the Fare Summary dialog box for bookings in Schedule Editor (Tools > Schedule Editor > Edit > View Booking Fare Information.)
  • In the Schedule Editor's Options tab, there is a checkbox added that allows you to switch the calculation method between EstTime or SchTime. Running the calculation in EstTime will work with the new color property, Shadow Time Color, which shows the time outside of the Max Length of a run in Run Graphical View.

Schedule Server

  • Schedule Server can now reload properties. Previously, whenever system or profile proporties were changed in the Workstation, the Schedule Server would need to be restarted for changes to take effect.
