Parameters of Multimodal assignment

Element

Description

DSegCode

Code of the demand segment to which the following elements apply

ResultPathSequenceSetNo

Number of the path sequence set to which the procedure adds the paths

MaxDirectDistShareFeeder

Value of the share of the direct distance between origin zone and destination zone, which may be traveled on feeders in order to receive a permitted path.

Feeders are sections that are traveled before and after the section of the mandatory demand segment.

ImpA

Enter a parameter ImpA for the impedance calculation.

A path is permitted for an OD pair if the following applies to its impedance Imp:

ImpImpA • Imp‘ + ImpB

with Imp‘ being the minimum impedance of the paths of the OD pair.

ImpB

Enter a parameter ImpB for the impedance calculation.

FeederImpA

Enter a parameter FeederImpA for the calculation of the feeder impedance.

The feeder impedance prevents the acceptance of paths with great detours for the feeders. Visum groups all paths found in the search of an OD pair by the part of the path with the obligatory demand segment. The result set only contains paths to which applies:

FeederImpFeederImpA • FeederImp‘ + FeederImpB

with FeederImp being the feeder impedance of the path and FeederImp‘ the minimum feeder impedance of the paths with the same obligatory demand segment.

FeederImpB

Enter a parameter FeederImpB for the calculation of the feeder impedance.

SearchImpA

Enter a parameter for the search impedance.

Weaker dominance criteria are used during the search. For the path from the origin zone to an intermediate node, only the weaker dominance criterion needs to apply.

SearchImpB

Enter a parameter for the search impedance.

Weaker dominance criteria are used during the search. For the path from an intermediate node to the destination zone, only the weaker dominance criterion needs to apply.

Lambda

Enter a value for the lambda of the Logit model for the distribution origin - destination demand to the paths of the OD pairs.

SubordinateDSegSequence

Click the  icon to specify the order of the demand segments.

Specifying the order and the obligation of the demand segments

You can specify the order in which demand segments will be used by paths. You also determine which demand segment is obligatory for all paths.

1.  Make sure that the Parameters: Multimodal assignment window is open (Selecting and executing the Multimodal assignment).

2.  In the SubordinateDSegSequence column, click the icon.

The Edit sequence of subordinate demand segments window opens.

3.  Make the desired changes:

Description

Demand segment

Drop-down list of the available demand segments

Obligatory

 If the option is selected, the demand segment must be used by paths. Multiple selection is not possible.

 If the option is not selected, the demand segment can optionally be used by paths.

 Create demand segment

Adds a new row to the list of demand segments.

Delete marked demand segments

Deletes the marked demand segments

 Move marked demand segments upwards

Moves the marked demand segments one row up in the list.

 Move marked demand segments downwards

Moves the marked demand segments one row down in the list.

4.  Confirm with OK.

The specified order is displayed in the column. The demand segments are separated by commas, optional demand segments are in square brackets, for example [Bike],[Car],PT,[Bike].
