Managing stop areas

Stop areas divide a stop into several areas. An area can, for example, represent a bus or train station platform, an intersection with stop points, a car park or a station concourse. A stop area is assigned to a single stop and can comprise several stop points. An area can be assigned to a network node so that connectors (access or egress) in the link network can be modeled via the area. The stop areas of a stop can be connected to each other From area - To area by means of a transfer walk time matrix that contains the time required for passenger transfers for each transport system of the type PuTWalk (Fundamentals: Stop areas).

Note: You can only allocate stop areas and therefore stop points to a stop if you edit the stop area (Editing the attribute values of a stop area and Creating a stop area) or create a stop point and select the Generate stop and stop point automatically option (Creating a stop point).
