CHAPTER 4 • ROUTES PAGE

Routes can be divided into segments which also have a start and end mile marker. Routes

can be composed of any number of segments. By default, a route will have one segment that

covers the entire length of the route. The route graphic will usually display the start and end

mile markers for each of the segments in light gray, as well as the segment distance in the

middle of each segment (both of these can be toggled on/off according to user preference).

Figure 4.8 shows a route with segments added.

Figure 4.8 – Route With Segments

Segments can be edited by clicking directly on them in the route graphic. Selecting a seg-

Figure 4.9 – Selected Segment Options

Note

To see the segment option panel, you must have the

Travel Point or Override is open, the panel won’t appear.

To change the size of the segment, or where it starts and ends, change the Start Mile and

End Mile text fields and click Change. The segment start and end values cannot exceed the

bounds of the start and end mile markers of the route. Making a segment shorter or longer

will adjust the length of the neighboring segments as needed to accept the new length. Seg-

ments must have a distance greater than zero. Segment lengths can be decimal values (up

to two decimal places).

You can also use the Change button for the Speed Limit text field; you can use this field if

an individual segment has a different posted speed limit than the rest of the route. This field

defaults to the speed limit of the entire route, as entered in the Route Configuration area in

the top left of this page.

To remove a segment from a route, select it and push Remove. The distance previously cov-

ered by that segment will be integrated into another segment. When you click Remove, the

Remove Segment window will appear (Figure 4.10) to let you choose whether the segment

should combined with the one on the right or the one on the left. As the window says, if the
