Reconciling service class-based routing affecting user service within a controllable transit system

A system for reconciling service class-based routing affecting user service within a controllable transit system, comprising:

• a memory medium comprising instructions;
• a bus coupled to the memory medium;
• and
• a processor coupled to the bus that when executing the instructions causes the system to:
• assign a service class to each of a plurality of vehicles within the controllable transit system based on sets of attributes of the plurality of vehicles;
• compute routes for each of the plurality of vehicles to reach a desired destination based on the service class assigned thereto;
• determine whether the computing of the routes will result in any of the plurality of vehicles having an adverse impact that exceeds a predetermined impact threshold;
• and
• re-compute at least one of the routes to reduce the adverse impact below the predetermined impact threshold.

A computer readable medium containing a program product for reconciling service class-based routing affecting user service within a controllable transit system, the computer readable medium comprising program code for causing a computer to:

• assign a service class to each of a plurality of vehicles within the controllable transit system based on sets of attributes of the plurality of vehicles;
• compute routes for each of the plurality of vehicles to reach a desired destination based on the service class assigned thereto;
• determine whether the computing of the routes will result in any of the plurality of vehicles having an adverse impact that exceeds a predetermined impact threshold;
• and
• re-compute at least one of the routes to reduce the adverse impact below the predetermined impact threshold.

A method for deploying a system for reconciling service class-based routing affecting user service within a controllable transit system, comprising:
