Route Planning / Mapping

• Set up multiple runs (double routing), “no return” routes and “transfer” routes
• Assign a student to any number of routes or field trips in a single day
• Define hazard or avoid areas
• NEW!! Fully automated route builder. Builds entire routing system for standard, transfer or tiered routing system
• Routes can run every day or on specific days
• Riders can be picked up every day or on specific days (using a standard schedule)
• Riders can be picked up on certain days (on demand riders)
• Riders can be cancelled for a day from a route
• Draw “route zones” and “walkout zones” for automated route building
• Lynx calculates the cost of field trips based on driver pay, mileage and time
• Optimize routes for shortest time or shortest distance
• Override student stop address, e.g. pickup/drop-off student at babysitter’s address
• Track hazard stops
• Calculate rider time onboard vehicle (limit exposure to exhaust fumes)
• Color code stops based on user-defined stop types
• Drag and drop student(s) to another stop in the route or another route entirely
• Web interface for parents to lookup pickup/drop-off times for their children
• Create routes by clicking on rider locations, i.e. dynamic route creation
• Create routes automatically by setting up “Bussing Zones”
• Create single master route for all riders
• Create routes based on overlay grid (drag and drop grid)

Route Sheets (Several formats available, here are some examples)

• Detail Route Reports
• Summary Route Reports
• Student route assignment reports (handy for teachers), i.e. shows the buses their students are on
• Student Information Report
• Reports can show pickup/drop-off addresses, overriding addresses, travel time, pickup/drop-off time, directions from last stop, distance, contact information, parent info, school, grades, etc.
• Print route checklists for drivers (confirmed passenger checklist)

Redistricting

• Define unlimited district maps using scenarios
• View statistics based on current BusOnePro™ School student data or forecast data
• Print maps of district boundaries/regions
• Display boundaries and statistics in Google Earth
