CTM Data Properties
The CTM Data system properties apply to the data used in the CTM Server:
To access these properties, click .
CTM Time Type: From the list on the right, choose either Closest or Next/Previous. Closest means that the times produced for itineraries and stops are closest to the requested time including times that precede the requested time (origins) or exceed times (destinations). Next/Previous means that the times generated for itineraries and stops are the next closest times for origins, and previous closest times for destinations.
Default Accessible Parameter Set: See Setting an Accessibility Type as the Default for a detailed description of this property.
Default Parameter set: Type the name of the parameter set to be used for searching itineraries. The user has the option of selecting another parameter set in the Itinerary Planning screen but this parameter set is the one used automatically.
Default Walking Speed: The walking speed set as the default used to calculate the walking time of a client (walking from his or her origin to boarding at a stop and from alighting at a stop to his or her destination).
The system is case sensitive. Your entry must match the parameter set name exactly. If the system cannot find a match with any existing parameter set, the following message appears. The set selected as the default, which was created initially by Trapeze, is used instead.
The speed unit is determined by the Speed property (see tab).
If you change the unit (for example, from kph to mph), the values on the slider bar (set by Default Walking Speed, Maximum Default Walking Speed, and Minimum Default Walking Speed properties) are converted accordingly.
Discard Untimed Itineraries: If you choose Yes, the system does not show itineraries where there are no trips running within the requested timespan.
Faring Module: Define the module generally used to calculate fares. By default, FlatDefault is entered. Fares can be calculated for travel within zones and for specific routes. See Setting Up the Fare Structure for more information.
Get default context on clear: Enables the Clear button on the Itinerary Planning screen toolbar. When clicked, the system clears the user-defined data, that is, origin and destination, on the screen and displays the service, sign-up period and exception combination data set as the default.
Ignore Early Leeway Margin: If set to a value greater than 0, the system defines the margin around the current system time. If the itinerary request time falls within that margin and the Early Leeway Time Parameter is set to 0, the system looks for solutions from the requested time without any early leeway being subtracted, that is, trips in the past are not included in the solution if the client is requesting for the Next trips. This is set to 0 by default.
Itinerary Search Timeout: Enter a value to determine the length of time the system performs an itinerary search before timeout. The minimum time is 10 seconds, the maximum time is 120 seconds.
Itinerary Search Timeout Overhead (network communications): Set the time value that controls how long the system search for an itinerary. This is set to one (1) minute by default.
Maximum Default Walking Speed: The maximum walking speed that can be selected in the Request tab of the Itinerary Planning screen. Users can adjust the speed within the range provided in the slider bar. See Default Walking Speed.
Minimum Default Walking Speed: The minimum walking speed that can be selected in the Request tab of the Itinerary Planning screen. Users can adjust the speed within the range provided in the slider bar. See Default Walking Speed.
Set depart time to current time on clear: If you choose Yes, when the Clear command is used on the Request tab of the Itinerary Planning screen, the depart time is set to the current (system) time by default.
Sort Itineraries by Countable Transfers: if you choose Yes, the itineraries do not include stay in seat transfers because a stay in seat transfer is not countable. If you choose No, stay in seat transfers are included even though they are not countable. This is useful when you want to see the results of your itinerary search based on the least number of transfers.
Trip-of-the-day Keyword, First: Sets the keyword that is used when entering the first trip itinerary in the Time field, for example F.
Trip-of-the-day Keyword, Last: Sets the keyword that is used when entering the last trip itinerary in the Time field, for example, L.
Trip-of-the-day Keyword, Next: Sets the keyword that is used when entering the next trip itinerary in the Time field, for example, N.
Trip-of-the-day Keyword, the earliest possible time: Sets the keyword that is used when entering the earliest possible trip itinerary in the Time field.
Trip-of-the-day Keyword, the latest possible time: Sets the keyword that is used when entering the latest trip itinerary in the Time field.
Use Barriers: If you choose Yes, the system recognizes barriers created in the Distance Wizard when performing itinerary searches.
A barrier is commonly defined as a boundary that blocks off travel within or between specific areas. Barriers can include mountains, rivers (where crossing is permitted in only certain areas), or any enclosed area, for example, a large field that contains no road system. It is important to define barriers on your system map so that the system can measure distances and time travel more accurately as well as navigate routes to get around the barriers. Before you plot a barrier, decide where the barrier is to start and end. To be as accurate as possible, make sure you get a good, close-up view of that area on your map.
