6.6.4: Select Transit Route

This process shall determine routes that are based on regular transit services. Routes shall be provided by the process to travelers in response to trip planning and on-line personal guidance requests. The data provided by the process shall be different for the two types of requests since trip planning information will not need the detail that guidance data requires. The process shall base routes on the current state of the regular transit services using data obtained from processes in the Manage Transit function. It shall also respond to any preferences and constraints, such as those for travelers with special needs, that are specified in the route request. Data on the current use of transit routes in on-line guidance shall be provided by the process to the Manage Demand function to aid in demand management. This data on current use of the transit routes in on-line guidance is stored in the transit_mode_routes data store.
