Route Exhaustion Report
This report shows all routes that will reach exhaustion in the specified forecast. The report shows carried traffic, % congestion, % utilisation, grade of service and lost traffic in the most recent actual busy hour and then the selected dimensioning parameter, the critical traffic, the sample size, correlation coefficient, traffic growth and exhaustion date. The report is always generated with weekly busy hour values. The user defines the length of forecast in days and the design GOS as runtime parameters, and has the option to include or exclude exhausted routes.

Route Interface Traffic Forecast Graph
This chart allows the user to plot the weekly trend of either the carried or offered traffic for one of the three following dimensioning parameters: the busy hour traffic; 3-day average traffic; or, the 5-day average traffic. It also plots a regression of the selected dimensioning parameter extrapolated over a user-defined forecast period.

Route Low Utilisation Report
This report shows all routes that will remain consistently under utilised in the forecast period i.e. start off with low utilisation and finish with low utilisation. The report shows carried traffic, % congestion, % utilisation, grade of service and lost traffic in the most recent actual busy hour and then the selected dimensioning parameter, the critical traffic, the sample size, correlation coefficient and current and final utilisation. The report is always generated with weekly busy hour values. The report can be filtered on the maximum current utilisation and forecast utilisation; these parameters mandatory and default to 25%. The user defines the length of forecast in days and the design GOS as runtime parameters.

Route Required Circuits Report
This report shows the forecast circuit requirements for a set of routes for three different forecast periods. The forecast can be dimensioned using Weekly BH, 3-DAV or 5-DAV values of carried or offered traffic. For all selected routes, the report shows the sample size, the correlation coefficient of the forecast, the actual and required number of circuits and the selected dimensioning parameter in the latest busy hour and then the required circuits and forecast traffic at periods of N1, N2 and N3 days ahead where N1, N2 and N3 are configurable but default to 60, 90 and 120. The report is always generated with weekly busy hour values.
