Highlight thresholds
Highlight thresholds are user defined fields to apply a colour treatment to assist in finding patterns for longer or shorter running times. The highlight threshold fields are available within the side panel for:
Total journey time delta - The time difference between the scheduled and actual total journey duration. The figures shown are the minimum and maximum values based on the set thresholds (1).
Segment delta - The time difference between the scheduled and actual segment duration. The figures shown are the minimum and maximum values based on the set thresholds (2).
The highlight thresholds are for in page analysis only and do not change the data or visuals shown on the page.
Running times
The highlight thresholds are applied differently depending on whether the user selects to view running times as Table view or Chart view.
Table view
The values within the Delta column are highlighted when the running times for the selected segment ran longer or shorter than scheduled (1). Similarly, the delta within the total journey time section are also highlighted when the total journey ran longer or shorter than scheduled (2).
Segment is defined as a portion of a trip for running time assessment and could represent either a stop to stop, a timing point to timing point, or from a previous timing point to the current stop.
Shorter and longer running times refer to deviations in the time it takes for a vehicle to complete its journey along a route, or segment of, compared to the scheduled, or expected time.
Chart view
The background colour of the chart is used to identify trips with segments/stops that are running above or below the longer or shorter user defined threshold. The chart area is shaded:
Pink in sections of the chart that fall above the “longer than scheduled” threshold (1),
Blue in sections of the chart that fall below the “shorter than scheduled” threshold (2), and
White to indicate when the segment delta is as expected (3).
Stop details
The Delta values within the “Running times from previous stop” / “Running times from previous timing point” column are highlighted when the running times for the selected segment ran longer or shorter than scheduled, similar to the treatment within the Running times Table view.
