Updating Relief Events

The Update Reliefs functionality enables and disables both regular reliefs and deadheads.

Before updating reliefs, make sure that the following items have been completed:
  • The trips have been blocked.
  • The trips have been assigned to divisions.
  • There must be a record in LineStopLabels table for the correct DivisionId and ServiceId. (The division and service of the correct agency must be used.)
  1. Click BlockBuster > Update Reliefs.
    The Update Reliefs dialog appears.
    Update Reliefs dialog
  2. Select the items that you want to update:
    • Reliefs: All reliefs. This is selected by default.
    • Start/End Trip Reliefs: To update the Created Pull-Outs and Pull-Ins - The reliefs are marked with a “P” in the Label column of the Nodes tab in the FX Route Definition screen.

      Use with caution. Only use this option if your transit site assigns reliefs at the beginning and end of runs. If you select this option, the system extracts reliefs at the beginning and end of runs whether or not you have selected them as relief points.

    • Relief and Start/End Trip Reliefs: To update all reliefs and the Created Pull-Outs and Pull-Ins
  3. From the Line Group list, select the appropriate line group or to include all groups, select All. Selecting a line group enables the Block field.
  4. From the Block list, select the applicable block or to update all blocks, select All.
  5. Click OK.

    If your transit site has many relief points, the updating process may take some time.
