本文中描述的路线重组试验旨在研究如何使用计算机软件来经济高效地重组收费表路线。具体而言，路线重组试验有三个目标:选择一个试验地点，包括各种类型的仪表和仪表设置、城乡混合地形和不同经济状况的客户；确定重组后每个读卡器每天抄表次数的增加；并且，确定成本节约。采访了五家路线重组软件供应商。被选中的软件使用时间戳数据，有一个定义良好的客户支持系统，并且有很好的参考资料。 这项试验比较了两个计费周期，一个是在重组计费线路之前，一个是在重组计费线路之后。对试验结论进行了讨论。包括2个参考文献和表格。

The route restructuring trial described in this article was performed to investigate the use of computer software to cost-effectively restructure meter routes. Specifically, the route restructuring trial had three objectives: select a trial site incorporating various types of meters and meter settings, a mixture of urban and rural terrain, and customers of varying economic status; determine the increase in number of meter reads per day per reader after restructuring; and, determine the cost savings. Five suppliers of route restructuring software were interviewed. Software that was selected used time stamp data, had a well-defined customer support system, and had good references. The trial compared two billing cycles, one before and one after the meter routes were restructured. Conclusions of the trial are discussed. Includes 2 references, tables.
