Creating demand time series

For assignment, the temporal distribution of trip demand needs to be connected to the OD demand. The demand is stored as demand matrix per demand segment (Fundamentals: Matrices). To make the connection, specify a standard time series as demand time series and assign it to a demand segment (Combining demand time series and demand segment).

Note: You can edit the standard time series for OD pairs of selected zone types. To do so, assign the OD pairs of your choice to different standard time series (Allocating different standard time series to relations between certain zone types). However, you can only do so for time series in percent.

The Demand data window opens.

2.  Select the Demand time series tab.

3.  Click the  Create icon.

A new demand time series is added.
