Distribution of empty trips and empty times to vehicle journeys
                                        As line costing is based on vehicle journeys, empty times and empty kilometers of a line block have to be allocated to the vehicle journeys served by the block. Based on this, costs can be calculated by the PuT operating indicators procedure.
The example below illustrates the impact of the four variants provided for distribution of empty times and empty distances to service trips. The operating time is calculated from empty time and service time. Similarly, the operating distance results from empty distance and service distance. Operating time and operating distance are required for cost calculation.
- Cost per hour = Operating time • Vehicle cost per hour
 - Cost per kilometer = Operating kilometers• Vehicle cost per kilometer
