4.2.1.1: Generate Transit Routes

This process shall generate new transit routes. 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 digitized map data, as sources of input from which the new routes are generated. The process shall also use the requested input data containing flexible-route and demand responsive transit routes and schedules. The generation of new routes by the process shall be initiated as a result of data received from the transit system operator interface process, with the output being sent to other processes for storage. The output data produced by the process shall include sufficient data for a specialist map data provider to generate maps showing transit routes and stops, either as separate data or as part of the general digitized map data provided to other ITS functions. In the event that an emergency transit route is received to support an incident, disaster, evacuation, or other emergency, the process will override existing routes and implement the emergency routes.

This process is associated with the Transit Management Center physical object.
