Section PrT

Element

Description

Origin connectors

By shares

Use this option to specify that the PrT origin traffic is distributed proportionally to the PrT origin connectors (Connectors: Basis tab).

Absolute

Use this option to specify that distribution of the PrT origin traffic to the PrT connectors is absolute.

Dest. connectors

By shares

Use this option to specify that the PrT destination traffic is distributed proportionally to the PrT destination connectors (Connectors: Basis tab).

Absolute

Use this option to specify that the distribution of the PrT destination traffic to the PrT destination connectors is absolute.

Method for connector shares

Use the drop-down list to select a method for the calculation of the shares of proportional connectors for the zone which deviates from the standard.

Tips

To change the standard method, from the Calculate > General procedure settings > menu, choose PrT settings > Connectors (Proportional distribution of demand).

You can also change the method for several zones via the Method for connector shares attribute (Editing attribute values of network objects).

Note: For PrT connectors with a distribution by shares, the impedances are determined according to the set impedance function during the assignment (Definition and application of volume-delay functions).

Section PuT

Element

Description

Connectors

By shares

Use this option to specify that the PuT origin and destination traffic is distributed proportionally to the PuT origin and destination connectors (Connectors: Basis tab).

Note

For a distribution by shares, on the Calculate > Procedure sequence  menu, the PuT assignment procedure from the Assignments category needs to be selected with the Timetable-based or Headway-based setting and the Regard connectors as shares parameter (Timetable-based assignment: Basis page and Headway-based assignment: Basis tab).

Absolute

Use this option to specify that the distribution of the PuT origin and destination traffic to the PuT origin and destination connectors is absolute.
