Adjustment of the capacities to the demand values

Please note that the link and turn capacities can have different units depending on the selected assignment procedure. While in statistic assignments of the PrT (such as the Equilibrium assignment) the link capacity is, for example, entered in car units per analysis period (PCU/AP), in the dynamic DUE procedure, the link capacity is interpreted in car units per hour (PCU/h). Although the Capacity attribute is attributed identically at the link, its unit is interpreted differently depending on the assignment procedure that is used.

Furthermore, the units in which link and turn capacities are modeled always need to match the units of the demand matrix. It is thus not allowed to manage link capacity values in unit PCU/h and assign a demand matrix in the same model which contains values for the whole day.

More detailed information on which units are used for capacity and demand in the individual procedures will be given in the section on input and output attributes of each assignment procedure (User model PrT).
