Updated over 2 weeks ago

S-104-V1-EN


The Relief Timing preference allows you to define when drivers relieve one another while performing a changeover, in relation to the departure time of the current vehicle or arrival time of the next vehicle.

Note: The Relief Timing preference replaces two older preferences: Continuous Attendance (in the Vehicles category) and Duty Layover Relief (in the Drivers category). Learn how to Switch to Relief Timing preference.

More on Relief Timing

  • The order of the instances in this preference is important. If the same stops, routes, and times appear in more than one instance, the first instance where they appear will take precedence.

  • The default state of the relief time (when nothing is defined for a specific stop/route/time) is Arrival & Departure.
