HAFAS import

Notes: This function is only provided with the HAFAS import add-on ( Enabling or disabling add-ons).

The HAFAS interface supports the HAFAS format 5.40.49.

The HAFAS interface enables users to import data sets in HAFAS raw data format in Visum. This procedure corresponds to the (non-additional) reading of a network (Opening and saving a network file and adding comments), i.e. data is read into an initially empty network.

The HAFAS raw data format consists of many text files with a fixed column format and no precise naming convention. For the HAFAS import you specify the files to be imported and further import parameters. The settings can be saved in a HAFAS project file *.haf and re-used later.

You can import the following files of the HAFAS raw data format:

  • Train types
  • Stop directory
  • Stop coordinates
  • Connections between stops
  • Time shifts of stops
  • Transfer priorities at stops
  • Stop-related transfer walk times
  • Transfer times related to the pair of vehicle journeys
  • Timetable period data
  • Valid days of the vehicle journeys
  • Operator data
  • Combined runnings
  • Passenger trip chains
  • Timetable files
  • Real graph files: Link points, edges, and vehicle journey allocation
