TODIS Route

Introduction 

Transportme allows users to import TODIS files in XML format to integrate route and stop data into the Transportme system.

The following route data can be imported from a TODIS file:

• Route Name
• Route Description
• Route Name/Number
• Contract Number
• Departing Stop
• Route Stop List and their departing time 

Additionally, stop data can be imported from the TODIS file, including:

• Stop Name
• Reference Stop ID
• Longitude and Latitude Coordinates

Importing Routes

Step-by-Step Guide:

• Step 1: Prepare the XML File: 
  • Ensure the file follows the correct format and is validated. 
  • Once validated, compress the XML file into a .zip archive before proceeding.
    
• Step 2: Log in to the Transportme operator portal
• Step 3: Navigate to route import section 
  • From the top menu bar, select Routes.
  • Click the Upload Route File button.
  • Select the TODIS radio button to open the Add Route by TODIS form.
  

• Step 4: Upload XML File
  • Choose the appropriate Route Category to assign to the imported route.
  • Select the TODIS .zip file containing the XML data.
• Step 5: Import 
  • Click the Import button to begin the import process.
  • Wait for the Results of TODIS Import to be returned. The system will process the file and display a summary of the import results.

Results of TODIS Import 

Each valid Trip entry in the TODIS file will be converted into a corresponding TME route upon successful import.

When importing a TODIS file, the system will perform different actions depending on how the data in the TODIS file matches or differs from the existing route data in the Transportme system.

The system will display the results, including any errors encountered during the process.
