Running times

Running times page provides a detailed view of vehicle adherence to the schedule. It enables you to discern whether specific segments of a journey are performing as anticipated or identify opportunities for refinement should a consistent pattern emerge.

The running time view can be accessed from

Journeys screen when selecting a date (1)
Service details in the side bar (2)
Stop details when selecting a visit dropdown (3)

From Running times the Journey view can also be accessed through selecting the arrow next to the Scheduled journey start (located in the first column)

Above is a visual representation of each stop and timing point on a journey from first stop to last stop. Split into segements, hovering over a row with running time data will highlight the segement that the data is referencing.

First stop (1)

Timing point – The default view of the page will have timing points only(2)

Stop – To show All stops select Filters > All stops > View running times (3)

Last stop – When All stops is selected in the Filters, the last stop will not show dwell time as dwell time is measured from arrival until departure at each stop (4)

Stop name (5)

Stop ID (6)

Scheduled, Actual, Delta, Dwell columns

Highlights are applied to the Delta column (1) to represent if the difference between the schedule time and actual time is 1 minute longer than scheduled or 1 minute shorter than scheduled.

First stop dwell time - Measured from when the trip has started until it departs from the first stop (2)

Scheduled running time - The scheduled time range from the departure of one stop to the departure of the next stop (3)

Actual running time - The actual time range between the departure from one stop and the departure from the next stop, including dwell time at the stop. The difference between the Actual departure from previous timing point and Actual departure from current stop (4)

Dwell time - The time of arrival until departure at the current stop (5)

Dwell time at the last stop will always be N/A (not applicable)

In the event that any segment of the journey lacks available data, it will be marked with the designation '---' to indicate its absence.

Filters button

The filters button gives control over:

Direction of the journey
Variant
If all stops or timing points are shown
Which day/s of the week shown
Journey start times shown

Total journey time

The total journey time panel (1) shows the total schedule time, actual time and dwell for that journey. The highlight also corresponds to what is selected in the sidebar for highlight thresholds.

The total journey time aggregates all dwell times, excluding the first AND last stop.

If the first stop is required to be added to the total dwell time aggregation the export function can be used for custom reporting

Highlight thresholds

Highlight thresholds are user defined fields to apply a colour treatment to assist in finding patterns for longer or shorter running times.
These highlight thresholds also effect the total journey time section.

Column tooltip

Hovering over columns in the main body of the page will show the following additional information:

The highlight shows what segment of the journey the data is referring to (1)
