Adding Travel Times

Adding a travel to the Travels grid is similar to adding a deadhead time to the Deadheads grid.

The By Node and By Time options and 2 way check box are defined in the same manner as those on the Add tab of the Deadheads Edit dialog box.

Complete the information on the location and times of the operator travel but instead of typing a Dhd (Deadhead) time, type the Paid and Actual times of the travel.
Note: In a multi-agency environment, you can add travels from a node to or from a garage of another agency.
  1. With the Travels tab displayed, click the Edit button: Edit button
    The Edit dialog box appears.
    Add Tab
  2. In the From field, type the name of the relief point or garage from which the operator starts to travel.
  3. In the To field, type the name of the relief point or garage where the operator ends his or her travel.
  4. In the Type list, select the applicable type of travel.
  5. To apply one time interval to the travel time, click the By Timeoption.
  6. Optional: To apply other time intervals to the travel time, leave the By Node option selected (It is selected by default).
  7. If the travel time between the From and To locations is the same in both directions, click the 2 Way check box.
  8. In the Fr Time and To Time fields, type the applicable times.
  9. Optional: If your operators are paid for travel time, type the paid travel time in the Paid Time field.
  10. In the Actual Time field, type the amount of time the operator actually travels.

    If you do not type a value in the Paid Time and Actual Time fields, the default value of zero (0) remains.

  11. Optional: In the Distance field, type the appropriate value if known.
  12. Click Add.
    Note: A message appears if the travel already exists and has a timespan that overlaps with another travel. Click Yes if you wish to continue.
    The new travel appears in the lower section of the dialog box.
  13. Click Apply.
  14. Perform the following additional steps as necessary:
    • To remove a travel record, select the travel and click Remove.
