PASS

PASS is an advanced scheduling and dispatching application developed to support the coordinated transportation efforts of demand response transit services.

PASS release note tables have been divided by category for easy reference to the software.

PASS tasks may be found in TP4 release notes or in TP6 release notes.

Trapeze4 Workstation

The Trapeze4 Workstation is the Trapeze interface most commonly used by PASS.

This section contains general corrections and enhancements that relate to PASS within the Trapeze4 Workstation.

Switches

Switches turn specific system functionality on and off, or modify how the system functionality works.

Switches are found in different places in the system. For example, in the Trapeze6 Service Shell in and in the Trapeze4 Workstation. Typically, when a switch is seen in multiple locations, its settings should match in all places.

Security Permissions

Security permissions define features within PASS to which users can either be given access or denied access.

Security permissions are found in the Trapeze6 Client Shell and in web-based interfaces.

System Properties

Trapeze4 system properties define certain aspects of system behavior.

System properties are found in the Trapeze4 Workstation under Tools > System Properties.

Ancillary Data and Supplementary Data

Ancillary data allows transit sites to customize the information system users see when they work in the Trapeze4 Workstation. Supplementary data provides additional opportunities for customization.

Runs

Runs allows users to define master, template, and daily runs to which trips may be scheduled.

Runs is found in the Trapeze4 Workstation by clicking Task > Runs.

Client Registration

Client Registration allows you to register clients, update client history, and define a client’s eligibility for paratransit service.

Client Registration is found in the Trapeze4 Workstation by clicking Task > Clients.

Trip Booking

Trip Booking allows users to create casual or subscription trips for clients.

Trip Booking is found in the Trapeze4 Workstation by clicking Task > Trip Booking.
Version Type Description ID
TP4 19.21.0.0 CORR

Fixed an issue where activated schedule days were missing subscription trips. These subscription trips had an eligibility condition that was set to deny (not activate trips) based on the origin and destination of the trip matching a specific polygon type. The missing subscription trips did not match the polygon type, therefore should have been activated for the schedule days.

 PASS-23647

Faring

Faring is about how clients are charged for trips.

Fare type options are defined in ancillary data under File > Ancillary Data > Para > Pricing > Fare Types. Faring is used throughout PASS and fare types are seen in various places, including Client Registration, Trip Booking, and Schedule Editor.

Trip Administration

Trip Administration allows users to look up trip information and to maintain and update subscription and casual bookings.

Trip Administration is found in the Trapeze4 Workstation by clicking Task > Trip Administration.

Version Type Description ID
TP4 19.21.0.0 CORR

Fixed an issue where the schedule time for a no show trip in Trip Admin did not display, even though the schedule time displayed in Schedule Editor.

 PASS-23734
TP4 19.21.0.0 CORR

Fixed an issue in Trip Admin where selecting the Polygon filter did not filter out the trips in the grid.

 PASS-23696
TP4 19.21.0.0 CORR

Fixed an issue in Trip Admin where clicking Sort increased the row count, and then scrolling caused the workstation to crash.

 PASS-23677

Schedule Administrator

Schedule Administrator is an application used by system administrators to for preliminary schedule work. For example, defining schedule types, adding schedules, and loading schedules.

Schedule Administrator (SAdm41.exe) is typically found in the same folder as the Trapeze4 Workstation (Mmsw41.exe).

Schedule Editor

Schedule Editor is a powerful tool used to access trip information and make schedule changes.

Schedule Editor is found in the Trapeze4 Workstation by clicking Tools > Schedule Editor.

Schedule Server

Schedule Server is an application that performs scheduling functions for PASS. For example, matching template trips to live schedule trips, devising estimated trip times, creating run itineraries, and calculating provider costs.

Wizards

Wizards are typically used to locate information or update records and are accessed from various PASS screens (for example, Client Registration, Trip Booking, or Trip Administration).

Wizards include the Client Change Wizard, the Subscription Change Wizard, the Location Change Wizard, and the Street Wizard.

Version Type Description ID
TP4 19.21.0.0 CORR

Fixed an issue where runs meant for testing were still being used as solutions in the Schedule Booking Wizard when trips were booked. This occurred due to some confusion with the logic caused by Trapeze4/Real Time Scheduling/View Other Providers Records and Trapeze4/Schedule Wizard/View All Providers security permissions.

Now, Trapeze4/Schedule Wizard/View All Providers was removed and Trapeze4/Schedule Wizard/View Partially Owned Transfer Solutions was added. This permission will allow users who do not have Trapeze4/RealTimeScheduling/ViewOtherProvidersRecords permission set to Allow, and accept transfer solutions with at least one leg from a provider they have permission to see.
