Distributing a matrix on paths

With this procedure, you can distribute the values of a demand matrix to paths (Fundamentals: Paths).

Notes: Existing volumes will be overwritten during the distribution.

Matrices will only be distributed to paths if they start and end at matching zones.

Via attribute Share of path set target, you can specify beforehand the share that shall be assigned to each path (Properties and options of PrT paths).

1.  On the toolbar, click the  Open 'Procedure sequence' window button.

The Procedure sequence window opens.

2.  Add the Distribution of demand matrix to paths procedure from the Matrices category to the given order of procedures in the procedure sequence (Setting up and starting the procedure sequence).

3.  In the row of the inserted procedure, click the button in the Reference object(s) column.

The Select matrix window opens.

4.  Select the matrix which is to be distributed to the paths. Here, two methods are provided (Selecting matrices).
