4.1.6.3: Generate Demand Responsive Transit Schedule and Routes

This process shall provide dynamic routing and scheduling of transit vehicles so that a demand responsive and/or flexible-route transit service can be provided. The generation of the specific route and schedule by the process shall be initiated by a request from another process. The choice of route and schedule produced by the process shall depend on what other demand responsive and flexible-route transit schedules have been planned, the availability and location of vehicles, the relevance of any fixed transit routes and schedules, and road network information. The process shall send its output for use if the schedule is later confirmed. Traffic incident data shall be received from the Manage Traffic function and sent on to the process that manages the interface to other transit management centers.
