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.

The Approval Types field was added to the Client/Booking Information dialog. This is to support to new Taxi/TNC Approval Types feature where a rider can have bookings scheduled to specific providers that are designated as “Taxi” or “TNC” provider. Schedule Server must adhere to the approval types assigned to the booking records and the provider(s).

These approval types are defined with a comma separated list under the context property: PASS/Providers/ApprovalTypes. The approval types can be set in the following:

  • Booking record

  • Providers record

  • Clients record

When a trip is scheduled/re-scheduled where the ApprovalType field is populated on the booking record, the schedule server will do the following (during scheduling/re-scheduling/batch):

  1. Find and filter solutions that coincide with the booking/client provider(s) and filter the solution(s) on the approval type(s) associated on the booking record.

  2. Not allow a solution to be found unless the PR violation is overridden.
