About Travels

Travel refers to the time it takes an operator to travel between relief nodes or between a garage and a relief node. They are defined in the Travels screen.

The Travel types are:

Start of the run End of the run
Start and end of the run Piece break
Shift break

The advantage of using the Travels screen in BlockBuster is that you can make changes to the travel records without having to go to the FX Runcutting screen. The data shown on the Travels screen is unique for the Run Block Optimizer. It can have the same values as the data used for BlockBuster or can be modified as required for Run Block Optimizer for each sign-up period and service.

For more information on travels, please refer to the BlockBuster System Administrator and User Guide.
