Abstract

The objectives of the research were to develop a decision support system (DSS) for route deviation services that will operate within a geographic information system (GIS) and to investigate route deviation design parameters. Such a DSS was developed and tested using two of Pentran`s 13 routes. The results of the study are promising and demonstrate the technical feasibility of providing route deviation service under certain conditions. The prototype DSS can be used as the foundation for developing a full-fledged route deviation scheduling software that Pentran can use to implement such a service.
