Managing time profiles

Time profiles specify the lengths of the run times between the stop points of a line route and indicate, whether boarding or alighting is permitted at the stop points of the line route. They are displayed in the right section of the Items and time profiles tab of the Edit line route window (The Line route editor window).

Note: The time profiles of a line route are edited in separate tabs. You can switch between the tabs (similar to Excel).

Note: If you edit the course of a line route, the vehicle journeys and vehicle journey sections of the line route are affected (Editing line route items and Effects on vehicle journeys and vehicle journey sections).

Accessing time profiles

Each line route has one or more time profiles. A (time) profile describes the temporal sequence of the line along the line route, yet without specific departure times and thus vehicle journeys. The time profiles created for a line route are displayed in different tabs. The names of time profiles set passive are displayed in italics here. If the selected line route has more than one time profile, a Multiple tab is displayed (Multiple display of time profiles).

  • ►  In the Items and time profiles tab of the Edit line routes window, click the name of the desired profile, for example 2.

The desired time profile is displayed.
