4.2.1.2: Generate Transit Schedules

This process shall generate new transit schedules for use by fixed-route and flexible-route transit operations. The process shall use parameters set up by the transit system operator, operational data for the current routes and schedules, plus the current routes and schedules themselves, as sources of input from which the new schedules are generated. The process shall also use the data containing flexible-route and demand responsive transit routes and schedules to generate the new schedules. The generation of new schedules by the process shall be initiated as a result of data received from the transit system operator interface process or a request for services to a parking lot. The process shall send its output to another process for storage. In the event that an emergency transit schedule is received to support an incident, disaster, evacuation, or other emergency, the process will override the existing schedules as needed to implement the emergency schedule.
