Note
In order to use routes within the Translator Advanced Travel Time System, a specific
database table format must be used within an available SQL Server instance. If the
database table was not created during the Translator installation and configuration
process, instructions for doing so can be found within the context help file for the
Routes page. Click the blue question mark in the upper left to open, then click the
Route Database Creation help page link at the bottom.
The route list (see Figure 4.1) shows all of the current route definitions created in the Trans-
lator system. The grid listings contain the following columns:
˽ Name – The name of the route. Clicking on this link takes you to the individual route
page (see the Editing a Route section below).
˽ Description – A text string describing the route (optional).
˽ Start / End – The start and end mile markers for the route. Mile markers can be deci-
mal values up to two decimal places in precision.
˽ Direction – The direction of traffic flow along the route. (Routes are unidirectional;
routes can be copied and reversed to create a route in the opposite direction of traffic.)
˽ Speed – The speed limit for the route.
˽ Road – Road or highway name for the route (optional).
˽ Custom – A custom string providing additional information about the route (optional).
As with other grids, the column names can be clicked to sort the entries in the route list
by that column value. Click the column again to sort in the opposite direction. If there are
more than 10 routes in the list, the page controls at the bottom of the grid can be used to
switch to other pages of the route list, and/or adjust the page size to display more routes.
Route Toolbar
The route toolbar, located above the route list, gives you options for working with routes.
Creating a Route
To create a new route, push the Create New button in the route toolbar. The Create Route
window will be displayed with fields for the new route attributes (see Figure 4.2). Names for
routes must be unique. The Name and Start/End fields are required for the route—all other
fields are optional. Push Save to save the new route definition to the system, or Cancel to
close the window and return to the main Routes page without creating a new route.
