Types of Deadheads
Deadheads are mainly classified based on where the time and distance of the trips start and end.
| Deadheads | Description |
|---|---|
| Interline | Occurs between two trips and refers to the time and distance that a vehicle travels between the end node of the last trip to the start node of the first trip. The trips are not necessarily interlined. |
| Garage | The time and distance that a vehicle travels from a garage to a start node of a trip and from the end node back to the garage. These deadheads are sometimes referred to as pull-out and pull-in deadheads. |
| Double | This is used by clients who do not use implied deadheads. This refers to a batch process where parking deadheads are inserted between trips when required. If the arrival and departure nodes at a deadhead have the same Park At value (created as Nodes supplementary data), then the deadheads to and from the Park At location are created. If there is not enough time for the deadhead, it is not inserted and a warning is included in the CDBlog. |
