Using the Boarding Delay function

You can define boarding delay functions for passengers causing a delay when boarding PT vehicles.

Boarding delay: Shows the relative occupancy of a public transport vehicle or elevator in relation to the maximum capacity for a defined duration. Delays in boarding can be caused, for example, through heavy train or elevator use, luggage being carried, a difference in height between the platform and the train, or ticket sales by the bus driver.

You select a boarding delay function for a boarding delay type (Defining boarding delay types).

For a PT vehicle, go to the Doors relation, then to 2D/3D model segment to assign a boarding delay type to the respective doors (Defining doors for public transport vehicles).

For an elevator, go to the Doors relation to assign a boarding delay type to the respective doors (Elevator door attributes).

Above and below the median, limiting curves define the range of the boarding delay function. You can insert intermediate points. Red circles in the median graph show intermediate points that allow you to edit the median course. The limiting graphs show the intermediate points in green.

To edit data points of intermediate points during a simulation run, use the COM method ReplaceAll. This replaces all data points of a function with the data points contained in the call of the COM method. Individual data points cannot be changed during a simulation run.

The values of the function are displayed depending on the network settings for units (Selecting network settings for units).
