HAFAS import

Notes: This function is only provided with the HAFAS import add-on ( Enabling or disabling add-ons ).

The HAFAS interface supports the HAFAS format 5.40.49.

The HAFAS interface enables users to import data sets in HAFAS raw data format in Visum. This procedure corresponds to the (non-additional) reading of a network (Opening and saving a network file and adding comments), i.e. data is read into an initially empty network.

The HAFAS raw data format consists of many text files with a fixed column format and no precise naming convention. For the HAFAS import you specify the files to be imported and further import parameters. The settings can be saved in a HAFAS project file *.haf and re-used later.

You can import the following files of the HAFAS raw data format:

  • Train types
  • Stop directory
  • Stop coordinates
  • Connections between stops
  • Time shifts of stops
  • Transfer priorities at stops
  • Stop-related transfer walk times
  • Transfer times related to the pair of vehicle journeys
  • Timetable period data
  • Valid days of the vehicle journeys
  • Operator data
  • Combined runnings
  • Passenger trip chains
  • Timetable files
  • Real graph files: Link points, edges, and vehicle journey allocation
