Notes: Vehicle combination sets are useful if you have many vehicle journey sections and if you want to use the Multi-edit feature to quickly allocate vehicle combination sets (Allocating an attribute value to a different attribute). This way you do not have to manually enter vehicle combination sets. Visum uses the vehicle combination set of a vehicle journey section for the line blocking with vehicle interchange (Executing the PuT line blocking procedure).
