SYSTEM DESCRIPTION <br /> IM <br /> Interfaces: <br /> SHORTEST PATH <br /> Sites have an option of using a shortest path algorithm to recommend the closest"vehicles." <br /> Without this option,the system recommends units by boundaries. With Shortest Path Routing, <br /> units are recommended by closest"station."If a site interfaces with AVLs,then the system recom- <br /> mends the closest unit. <br /> Sites can purchase the option of using a shortest path algorithm to recommend the closest vehi- <br /> cles. Without this option, units are recommended by boundaries. With Shortest Path Routing, <br /> units are recommended by closest station. If a site interfaces with Automatic Vehicle Location <br /> devices,then the system recommends the closest unit. <br /> Shortest path routing calculates the shortest path between an origin address and a destination <br /> address. When valid origin and destination addresses are entered, a Zoom Level of the area dis- <br /> plays location markers for the origin and destination addresses and provides driving directions. <br /> The following origin and destination location entries are valid: exact street number and street <br /> name, exact street name alone and intersections. When you choose Plot>Travel Directions,the <br /> Request Travel Directions window opens. <br /> When you enter a Start Address and Destination Address and choose Apply, a Travel Directions <br /> window opens with travel instructions of the shortest path from the Start Address to the Destina- <br /> tion Address. <br /> � � 02/18/09 <br />
