How does IFS calculate travel time and how is travel time shown in GANTT? 

Best answer by Charith Fernando

Hi,

Please find the below elaboration.

  1. Straight line -PSO takes the straight line distance between 2 points & calculate the distance. Then it is divided by 60 kmph to arrive at the travel time
  2. HTM- This is a Map divided into metices & is prepared by PSO RnD. When calculating travel time, the road network is verified against BING Maps & travel time is calculated
  3. TOM TOM - This is a Real time travel data provider like Google maps. PSO is able to fetch the real time travel data which include Traffic data.

    The first method is freely available in PSO. But, a customer need to purchase the other 2 (HTM & TOM TOM) If they need to benefit from more accurate travel times.

    Thanks!

    Hi,
     

    IFS Calculates travel times based on 3 travel methods.

    1. Straight Line method

    2.HTM method (Hierarchical Travel Metrix)​​​​​​​

    3.TOM TOM Real Time Travel

    Travel times are shown in gannt by a silver line in between activities.

    Hope this helps. Thanks!

    Just to avoid misunderstandings… When you say “How does IFS...”, are you referring to PSO (Scheduling Workbench) or the Dispatch Console? If you refer to PSO, all responses above are correct.
