Setting Up PASS-IPA for use with Google

When third-party Google software is used for trip planning, the following steps should be taken to set up PASS-IPA.

Procedure

Define Trapeze6 properties for the Google trip planner:
1. Open the Trapeze6 Client Shell.
2. Open Properties.
  Typically, this is found under Tools > Properties, but may be found elsewhere depending on the system setup.
3. Navigate to MAP > Google.
4. Define the key Value for the type of key used by the transit agency:
  - Maps API Free Key
  - Maps API Premier Key
  - Maps API Standard Key
5. Define the Default Map Key type to match the value just entered.
  For example, select Premier Key if a Maps API Premier Key value was defined.
6. Confirm the Services > Directions value is defined as http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/.
Define Google-related system properties:
1. In the Trapeze4 Workstation, click Tools > System Properties.
2. On the Profile tab, navigate to Journey Planners > Google Parameters.
3. Click Edit.

  Dropoff Late Window
  
  The maximum amount of time after the Req time that clients can be dropped off. Values are defined based on the Time span property set in File > Properties on the Formats tab.
Set up ancillary data:
1. Click File > Ancillary Data > General > Trip Planning Solutions.
2. Define the following:
  
  Name
  
  A recognizable name for the solution.
  
  Product
  
  Select Google.
  
  Parameter
  
  Use the parameter set created in System Properties.
3. Click Save.
4. Click Close.
5. Reopen Trip Planning Solutions ancillary data and verify that the new Trip Planning Solution is visible in the first row.
Associate the created solution for Trapeze personal trip planning:
1. Click Task > Personal Trip Planning.
2. Click the Solutions tab.
3. Modify the visible data using the Name column by selecting the Solution Name created in Trip Planning Solutions ancillary data.
4. Click Save As.
5. Type a Solution Set Name for the modified version.
6. Click OK.
Enable the new solution set for use in Trip Plan Analyzer Wizard:
1. In the Trapeze4 Workstation, click Tools > System Properties.
2. On the Profile tab, navigate to IPA.
3. Use the newly created Solution Set Name as the value for the following properties:
  - Default Solution Set
  - SolutionSet DO
  - SolutionSetPU
Define additional Trapeze6 properties for the Google trip planner:
1. Open the Trapeze6 Client Shell.
2. Open Properties.
  Typically, this is found under Tools > Properties, but may be found elsewhere depending on the system setup.
3. Navigate to INFO > InfoPTP > Default solution set.
4. In the Value column, type the newly created Google Solution Set Name.
Set the appropriate switches:
1. In Schedule Server (SchedSrv3.exe), click View > Switches.
2. Navigate to PASS > SchedSrv > MultiModal > Enable.
  Note that PASS and Pass are two different folders.
3. In the Boolean Switch frame, click ON.
  The switch is enabled. Enable = 1.
4. Optional: Define any other Multimodal switches as needed:
  
  Para Trip Behavior > End of Multimodal Trip
  
  0
  
  Algorithm will determine if a Para trip connection at end of multimodal trip is needed.
  
  1
  
  Force a Para trip connection at end of multimodal trips.
  
  2
  
  Prevent a Para trip connection at end of multimodal trips.
  
  Para Trip Behavior > Start of Multimodal Trip
  
  0
  
  Algorithm will determine if a Para trip connection at start of multimodal trip is needed.
  
  1
  
  Force a Para trip connection at start of multimodal trips.
  
  2
  
  Prevent a Para trip connection at start of multimodal trips.
  
  SearchOnlyMultimodal
  
  Only searches multimodal solutions.
  
  0
  
  Search for both multimodal and pararun solutions.
  
  1
  
  Search only for a multimodal solution.
  
  2
  
  Search first for a multimodal solution. If a multimodal solution is not found, search for a pararun solution.
  
  SetMultiModalAsTopSolution
  
  Multimodal options are set as the top solution for each trip.
  
  Sign ID
  
  Sign ID used by CTM Server for Multimodal solutions.
  
  WheelChair Space Type

Search for and save a solution using the Schedule Booking Wizard.
The following are required:
- In the MOT list, Fixed must be selected (as well as your typically selected options).
- The Trip must have a requested (RT) time.
A trip is scheduled for the fixed route.

If no solutions appear, try turning off violations. (A violation may be causing Schedule Booking Wizard to return no options.)
