|
Times returned by the service can be displayed based on following options:
|
|
| Amount of time in minutes after the requested time that determines if a route is in service. If the first trip time is within the set time after the requested time, the route is considered to be in service. If not within the stated time, the route has no service at the requested time. The default is 240 minutes. The Min (minimum time) is 30 minutes and the Max (maximum time) is 1440 minutes. | |
| Maximum number of nearby stops to be processed and returned when the system searches for nearby stops within the defined Radius parameter. Leave at the default, 0 if not using this property. | |
| Total number of trip times that the service returns if there are no restrictions to the number of times per line/direction. Setting this to 0 means that the service returns all times. The default is 20. The Min (minimum number) is 0 and the Max (maximum number) is 100. | |
| Total number of trip times that the service returns for each line/direction combination passing the selected stop under normal circumstances. The default is 3. The Min (minimum number) is 0 and the Max (maximum number) is 30. (In some cases, 0 = 5.) | |
| Number of trip times that the service returns for each line that stops a selected stop. The default is 3. Setting it at 0 means that there is no limit. | |
| Sort order of the search results if grouped by Routes or Stops (other than Times) as defined in the GroupResultsBy property. The default is First Time. If set to this value, the groups are sorted by the earliest time within the group. Other values used must match a column that exists in the Stops, Line or MasterLine table and can be retrieved by a SQL query. | |
|
Sort order of the search results if grouped by Times in the GroupResultsBy property. The options are:
|
|
| If selected, the service returns stop times where the vehicle unloads passengers only – no boarding allowed. This is not selected by default. | |
|
Sort order of the list of routes that pass a stop:
|
|
| Amount of time in minutes to make a trip appear to be earlier than scheduled. This is done to prompt passengers into arriving at the stop earlier to reduce the risk of their missing their trips. The default is 0, which means that the property is not applied. The Min (minimum time) is 0 and the Max (maximum time) is 10. | |
| Amount of time in minutes before the requested time that determines, in part if
trips with late vehicles have not passed a stop. The service searches for stop times
that are this number of minutes before the requested time. The default is 10. The
Min (minimum time) is 0 and the Max (maximum time) is 60. A warning is shown if the property is set to a value other than zero. The number of future departure times may be inconsistent and fewer times than expected may be returned. |
|
| Amount of time in minutes for each increment period. For the requested stop times in the near future, the LookBack window is incremented by 1 minute for each complete increment period up to the maximum value set in the TripLookBackTime property. The default is 10. The Min (minimum time) is 1 and the Max (maximum time) is 20. | |
| Time when the trip arrival times for vehicles is announced. If a number of minutes is set, the system will not announce the trip arrival times within that time after the vehicles arrive. If set to 0, the arrival times are announced as soon as the vehicles arrive. The default is 0, which is the Min (minimum time) and the Max (maximum time) is 5. | |
| If selected, the system removes stop times for which the real time, if any, is before the request time. This is not selected by default. | |
| In INFO-Web G3, the color of the vehicle icons are the same as the color of the
route they are associated with. (The following properties, which set the color of vehicles displayed on the map based on real time data, are used in INFO-Web G2.)
|
|
| If selected, the service enforces the 'in service' window (based on the InServiceWindow property) and attempts to find the next trip time on a future day when the route has no service at the requested time. This is the default. | |
| Number of days into the future after the requested time that the system searches for the first trip time in order to resume the service. The default is 5 days. The Min (minimum number) is 1 and the Max (maximum number) is 14. | |
|
The following options determine the conditions in which a special status message is displayed instead of the estimated departure time:
The conditions are determined in relation to the ETE and ETA threshold properties. They are only used in the SMS and Email delivery methods. |
|
Amount of time (in minutes) that determines whether the ETE or Arrive schedule
time is displayed. The ETE threshold is displayed in the following instances:
|
|
Amount of time (in minutes) that determines whether the ETE threshold or
schedule time is displayed - The ETE threshold is displayed in the following
instances:
|
|
| Threshold in minutes at which an early bus, which is off route, is marked as being due. If set to 0, the property is not activated. | |
| Instead of the departure time, this text message is displayed if the vehicle is considered to be arriving at the stop based on the ETE and ETA thresholds and real time data. The default is "Arriving." | |
| Text displayed at the departure time if the vehicle is off route but is considered to be arriving at a stop based on real time and the Off Route Due Threshold value. (This is not used by the G3 markup.) | |
| Instead of the departure time, this text message is displayed if the vehicle is considered to have left the stop based on the ETE and ETA thresholds and real time data. The default is "Left." | |
| The amount of time in seconds that the Left Text message is displayed after a vehicle has been determined to have left a stop. The default is 60 seconds or 1 minute. The Min (minimum time) is 0 while the Max (maximum time) is 900. | |
| If selected, the real time data is shown with the Arriving or Left text messages based on the ETE and ETA thresholds. This is not selected by default. | |
| Distance in front of the requested stop - Vehicles that report location data and are within this distance in front of the requested stop are considered to be waiting at the stop. The default is 20 meters. The Min (minimum distance) is 0 while the Max (maximum distance) is 100. | |
| Distance behind the requested stop - Vehicles that report location data and are within this distance behind the requested stop are considered to be waiting at the stop. The default is 10 meters. The Min (minimum distance) is 0 while the max (maximum distance) is 100. | |
Options that determine how vehicles and trip times are displayed for cancelled
trips if service adjustments are activated:
|

| If selected, the generated URL link will start with https:// instead of http://. |
