Perceived journey time

The perceived journey time PJT results from the weighted components of the journey time and further components.

1) timetable-based assignment only

2) headway-based assignment only, (in)direct vehicle journey item attribute in the timetable-based assignment

The perceived journey time is used for the headway-based procedure and timetable-based procedure, to evaluate individual connections during the connection choice. Weighting the number of transfers strongly, for example, results in passengers preferring minimum transfer connections.

  • In both procedures, boarding events and transfers can be evaluated in addition.
  • Headway-based assignment does not yet regard PuT-Aux times.
  • For the timetable-based assignment, the following options are provided:
  • Number of operator changes can be taken into account
  • PuT-Aux time can be weighted with a TSys attribute
  • extended impedance can be defined
  • Moreover, for each component a Lambda value can be entered and/or the option Box-Cox transformation can be activated.
