A stop comprises the entire complex of stop areas and thus also stop points. To ensure that a stop can be localized and displayed in graphical form, it has a coordinate, but it is not assigned directly to a network node or link.
The stop contains information on route times within each stop area (on the transfer walk time matrix diagonal) and between two stop areas. In addition to these walk times, the stop optionally bears transfer walk times and wait times between lines/directions or transport systems. With this a particularly through structural or organizational measures aggrieved or favored transfer between vehicle journeys can be illustrated, for a modeled stop without stop areas, for example. The general transfer walk time of eight minutes could apply in a large train station, when changing from an ICE train to another train, however, because of track information, three minutes should be sufficient, for example. In such a case, these three minutes could be defined as transfer time of the transport system ICE in the same transport system.
