To override a travel time for a particular segment, or to add a special message to the route,

click on the Override tab (see Figure 4.20). Type the message into the Override Message

field and select either Apply to Entire Route or Apply to Selected Segments. In the latter

case, select one or more segments by clicking on them in the route graphic.

Figure 4.20 – Override Tab

In addition to the override message, a delay time can be assigned to the override alert as

well—representing a time delay to be added to any trip time calculations involving the route

(or the selected segments). Enter the delay time into the Delay Time field (values are in

minutes) and select an optional expiration time, either after a certain number of minutes or

on a certain date and time.

Create the override using the Create Override button. Any segments having a valid over-

ride message will be marked using an “*OVERRIDE*” text message on the segment display.

The override details will also be listed in the override grid at the bottom of the panel, with

information as to the override status, delay and expiration date. Any override can be manu-

ally cancelled by clicking on the Remove link.
