Prerequisites and requirements of the service point selection method

  • The main difference between partial routing decisions with the service point selection method and other partial routing decisions:

For a pedestrian to be able to see the partial route, an intermediate point of the pedestrian's original route must be positioned in the area where the partial routing decision is made. This area is therefore a decision area. It is not necessary to select the Queue attribute for this area (Attributes of areas).

Pedestrians on a route without an intermediate point in the decision area are not affected by a partial routing decision. These pedestrians are not going to a service point.

  • If pedestrians are supposed to go to the service points, each partial route must have an intermediate point in the area for which the Queue attribute (queue area) was selected. This way, a queue can be built in this area.
  • For a central queue, the partial routing decision must be made in a queue area.
  • For immediate service point allocation, the partial routing decision must not be made in a queue area.
  • Each queue area must be assigned a wait time distribution via the Time distribution attribute (Attributes of areas).
