Stops |
The Stops tab enables you to record and view details about stops, including number of passengers, bicycles, disabled persons, and standees. If preferred, you can instead enter all schedule stop information manually. If you enter passenger on/off data by stop, your total passenger and peak passenger counts can be calculated automatically and displayed on this tab. If you only track totals for the entire trip, you can enter those counts manually.
Actual trip information will not be defaulted to scheduled information until a user initiates it.
The application supports automatic calculation of total number of passengers and peak number of passengers if you track passenger on/off data by stop.
Tip: The Stops tab only lists passenger stops, because those are the only stop types that will have trip data collected for them.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on schedule ID, trip ID, from/to date, trip date, dispatcher/assistant dispatcher signoff, status, location ID, consist ID, and route ID. Departure time and destination time may be added to the filter dialog using Administrator mode.
The fields in the top section of the tab define the information that displays.
