Easy Route Creation with Learn Mode

Easy Route Creation with Learn Mode

Route Tracing is a way to define your routes in the system when you do not have routing software. The concept is simple. As your driver drives a route, they will use a student bus pass, such as a fob, at every stop. By scanning the bus pass and having the bus in “Route Trace” mode, the stop location and times are recorded so that the routes can be uploaded and then verified. Some benefits of route tracing include creating routes, preparing for student ridership, showing drivers how Transportant technology helps them drive their bus safer and more efficiently.

Steps to Route Creation in Learn Mode

  1. Transportant will place your buses in “Learn Mode”

  2. Drivers for each route will be given a bus pass to use during the route.

  3. Every stop will be made, even if no students ride for that stop.

  4. At each stop, the driver will scan the “Learn Mode” bus pass, documenting the stop in the system.

  5. This process will continue for at least a week.

Creating the Route

The system will provide route suggestions, including documenting stops not in the system. Once the process begins, review and add information daily to the route data. Keep the route names identified as learn mode as in:

When you are satisfied with your route, copy it and rename it with the correct name.
