Routing Constraint Zone

Description

A Routing Constraint Zone (RCZ) is a prohibition made to a road service to take or to leave the same passenger inside a perimeter of urban transports.

Managing RCZs

An RCZ can be configured :

• At the line level. More explications here: Line Referential | Line routing constraint zones

• At the route level in a dataset.

In each line, you have the possibility to define the restrictions of a Routing constraint zone (RCZ) , associated to a Route.

The RCZ, defined at the route level in a dataset, will be applied only to a given route in a dataset and only to this route’s periods.

You can access the RCZ list from the Line page of your dataset.

When you add a RCZ, you need to mark the stops that you wish to include in your prohibition.

You can have Chouette automatically create the equivalent RCZ for the opposite route. The action "Create Return Zone" is available in the action menu of RCZ.

To create a “return” RCZ, the route of the consulted RCZ must :

• have a defined return route

• the return route passes through the stops of the RCZ consulted

In this case, the “return” RCZ created:

• is associated with the return route

• includes the same stops as the original RCZ, but in the order of the return route

If the return route loops over one or more RCZ stops, the order of the first passage is used.
