Reading Route Sheets

Introduction

We define routes as individual trips inbound to or outbound from a specific school at a specific time.

We define a "bus" as a group of routes assigned to a single driver.

The software combines information from a combination of files:

The geographic database is a digital file with all street information for the area. It includes:

• latitude and longitude for all intersections
• street speeds
