Everything in this section is about the operational side of the network — who is rostered on what, which bus does which work, where the day has no slack in it, and, where observed running times have been loaded, where a route actually loses time.
Four pages.
The pages here
| Page | What it answers |
|---|---|
| What this tab needs before it works | The two things that have to be in place, what the tab is once they are, and what it is built from |
| Rosters, shifts and depots | What the roster is here, the difference between a shift and a run, and the Overview, Depots and Routes sections |
| Allocation | How the day's work is spread across drivers and buses: Shifts (drivers), Runs (buses), Handoffs and Analytics — and where a delay would go |
| Punctuality, and what it does not prove | Observed running time against what the timetable allocated, segment by segment |
Two things to know before you open any of them
This tab draws the confidential driver roster. It needs an account, and it needs one with the right permission. Nothing from it — no depot, no shift, no duty time — is written into this manual or shown in any of its pictures, because the manual is published without a sign-in. See Signing in.
Nothing in this tab is observed. Every figure on it is derived from the rostered plan: what was scheduled to happen, and how fragile that plan is. It is a forecast of where a delay would cause trouble, not a record of where one did. The one page here that reads real observations is Punctuality, and that view lives in the Timetable tab.
Two pages named "Allocation"
The word means two different things in this app, and both have a page.
- The Allocation view, in the Timetable tab, is about where the timetable's time goes between one stop and the next.
- Allocation, here, is about how the day's work is spread across drivers and buses.
Neither is a control called "allocation" in this tab. Operations Analysis has no view of that name; the word is used here the way a depot uses it.
