Using location distributions for boarding and alighting passengers in PT

A location distribution allows you to define how the total number of boarding/alighting passengers is distributed over the entire length of the PT vehicle. For each door of a PT vehicle that is meant for boarding and alighting passengers, the share of the vehicle length on both its sides is calculated:

• half the distance to the next door and/or
• the entire distance to the start or end of the vehicle

For each share of the total vehicle length, an increase in y direction is shown on the x-axis as a percentage of passengers for the respective door. The probability increases from NULL at the very front of the vehicle to 1 at the very back.
