Setting the bar display for transfer flows

Notes: An arrival group describes a set of vehicle journeys that arrive at the same time at the selected stop. The defined tolerance value (Activating the transfers display of regular services) indicates the allowed deviation from the same arrival time under which vehicle journeys are displayed as one arrival group.

A departure group describes a set of vehicle journeys that depart at the same time at the selected stop. The defined tolerance value (Activating the transfers display of regular services) indicates the allowed deviation from the exact same departure time under which vehicle journeys are displayed as one arrival group.

A service group can be either an arrival group or a departure group.

The setting of the graphic parameters is identical for both groups, it is, thus, described for the arrival groups only. Proceed in the same manner when specifying the settings for the departure groups.

You can select which transfer flows of service groups shall be displayed in the transfers display of regular services.

1.  Make sure the bars for the transfer flows are drawn (Setting the graphic parameters for transfer flows).

2.  Click the desired icon for the display of the transfer flows.

Transfer display

Shows possible connecting journeys for marked service groups. The following conditions apply:

  • Service groups that are not marked are displayed in faded colors.
  • A marked arrival group is highlighted together with the departure groups, which can be reached within the maximum wait time of at least one of the arrivals. The minimum walk times are taken into account. The remaining service groups are displayed palely.
  • If only one departure group is marked, only those arrival groups are highlighted, which reach at least one departure of the marked departure group within the maximum wait time.
  • Transfer flows are displayed between marked service groups and their reached connecting journeys only.
  • In addition, thin black lines are drawn between marked service groups and their reached connecting journeys, even if the transfer flows have no volumes.

Note

You can change the time slot for reachable connecting journeys in menu Network > Network settings > tab Attributes in section Connecting journeys > Maximum wait time.

3.  Mark the desired service groups.

Uniform scaling of the bar display

You can scale the bar display of arrival groups, departure groups, and passenger transfer flows according to the total volume attribute of the visible vehicle journeys in such a way that the bar widths are comparable.

1.  Make sure that the transfers display of regular services is open and that the desired graphic settings have been made.

2.  On the Transfers display of regular services menu, click Unify bar scaling.

Tip: Alternatively, click the black triangle of the split button on the Transfers display of regular services toolbar and click Unify bar scaling.

Note: If you make changes to the considered data, you have to call the Unify bar scaling function again, for example after changes to the stop, the line selection, or the time interval under consideration.
