Setting access nodes

In order to connect the public transport line network to the regular link network, you can connect stop areas automatically to nodes. For a stop area, the program searches for the nearest node within the user-defined snap radius and saves it as access node. If required, you can restrict the number of the regarded stop areas and nodes. In case of an identical distance to two nodes, the node with the smaller number becomes the new access node. If no node is located within the snap radius, the allocation does not change.

Editing all or all active stop areas

1.  If required, set the stop areas active, which you want to connect to the network, via

The selected stop areas are active.

2.  In the Network window, right-click the Stop areas button.

The Stop areas shortcut menu opens.

3.  Select the Set access node entry.

The Stop area Set access nodes window opens.

4.  Select whether you want to set the access nodes of all stop areas or just the active ones.

5.  Make the desired changes.

Description

Snap radius

Radius around the coordinate of the stop area in which the nearest node is determined as new access node for the stop area. In case of an identical distance, the node with the smaller number is used. If no node is located within the snap radius, the allocation does not change.

Adjust only isolated stop areas

If the option has been selected, access nodes are only set for stop areas which do not have an access node yet.

Allocate only active nodes

If the option has been selected, only active nodes will be considered as access nodes. If not, all nodes are considered.

6.  Confirm with OK.

For each selected stop area, an access node is determined within the snap radius.

Editing marked stop areas

1.  In the network, mark all stop areas that you want to connect automatically to the network.

2.  Right-click in the network display.

A shortcut menu opens.

3.  Select the Set access node entry.

For each selected stop area, an access node is determined within the snap radius.

Tip: You can also call the function from the shortcut menu of the corresponding list and edit marked objects together.
