Concepts

Stop Hierarchy

Route
├── Stop 1 (sequence: 1)
│   └── Passengers assigned
├── Stop 2 (sequence: 2)
│   └── Passengers assigned
└── Stop 3 (sequence: 3)
    └── Passengers assigned

Create a Stop

Step 1: Navigate to Stops

1. Go to Transportation → Stops
2. Click Create

Or create stops directly within a route.

Step 2: Enter Stop Details

Field	Required	Description	Example
Name	Yes	Stop location name	”Oak Street Corner”
Route	Yes	Parent route	”Morning Route A”
Sequence	No	Pickup order	1, 2, 3…
Estimated Arrival	No	Minutes from route start	15.0
Active	No	Availability toggle	True

Step 3: Assign Passengers

In the Person(s) section:

1. Click Add a line
2. Select students/faculty
3. Repeat for all passengers at this stop

Step 4: Save

Click Save. Stop is now active on the route.

Capacity Validation

The system validates vehicle capacity:

Total passengers across all route stops ≤ Vehicle capacity

Validation Error

If capacity exceeded:

• Error message displays
• Cannot save until resolved
• Remove passengers or increase vehicle capacity

Stop Sequencing

Set Pickup Order

1. Open stop record
2. Adjust Sequence field
3. Lower numbers = earlier pickup

Reorder in Route View

1. Open route record
2. In Stops tab, drag handles to reorder
3. Sequence updates automatically

Estimated Arrival Time

Configure arrival estimates:

Field	Description
Estimated Arrival (Config)	Minutes from route start time

Calculated Arrival

System computes actual arrival time:

Actual Arrival = Route Start Time + Estimated Arrival (minutes)

Estimated time incorrect

Ensure:

• Value is in minutes (float)
• Route start time is configured
• Time zone settings correct
