Calculating the public transport dwell time for PT lines and partial PT routes
The following methods allow you to model stop dwell times for PT vehicles

|
Dwell time distribution |
The dwell time is based on the dwell time distribution used (Defining dwell time according to dwell time distribution). Define all desired dwell time distributions (Using time distributions). You then assign the desired dwell time distribution to each stop serviced by a PT line or partial PT route. |
|
Advanced passenger model |
The dwell time and number of passengers boarding and alighting are calculated using the advanced passenger model (Calculating dwell time according to the advanced passenger model). To model stop dwell times with the number of passengers boarding and alighting instead of with dwell time distributions, define PT parameters for the respective vehicle type (Specifying duration of boarding and alighting for a PT vehicle type). |
|
Viswalk (microscopic pedestrian simulation) |
Dwell time and number of passengers boarding/alighting are calculated during the simulation (Calculating dwell time with PTV Viswalk), (Modeling pedestrians as PT passengers) and (Quick start guide: Defining pedestrians as PT passengers). |
Without Viswalk, you can define the Dwell time distribution method faster than the Advanced passenger model in Vissim. The Advanced passenger model method, however, allows you to model the behavior at stops more precisely, e.g. the cumulation of vehicles of a PT line at a stop caused by a delay.
