Description

Number

Number of the fare system

Name

Name of the fare system

Rank

Rank of the fare system. If multiple fare systems are available for a path, the fare is determined based on the fare system with the highest rank (Fundamentals: Procedure for ambiguous fare systems).

Fare weight for selection

Fare system weight. If multiple fare systems of the same rank are available for a path, the path with the minimum fare will be used by default. This weight again can be applied to the fare. This way you can model that non-local incoming passengers usually go by train as long as possible, until they transfer to a local transport system, even if this is more expensive compared to the minimum fare (Fundamentals: Fare weights).

Fare applies to

Use the drop-down list to specify whether one or more ticket types must be purchased for a connection with multiple path legs (Fundamentals: "Fare reference" of a fare system).

Each group of contiguous path legs

A ticket can be used for several successive path legs of a connection.

All path legs together

A ticket can be used for all path legs of a connection.

Each path leg separately

For each single path leg, a ticket must be purchased.

Visum automatically uses this option if, in the procedure Headway-based PuT assignment, you use fares for impedance calculation ("Fare reference" of a fare system and Headway-based assignment: Impedance tab)
