Properties and options of lines

Name of the line

In the drop-down list you can change the transport system of a line. You can select any public transport system that exists in the network. A change has these consequences:

In the network:

• Visum permits the relevant links and turns in the new transport system.
• Visum permits the relevant stop points in the new transport system if the time profile permits the boarding or alighting on this stop point.
• Visum discards assignments and results of the line costing and revenue calculation (if available).

Within the line hierarchy:

• Visum checks the vehicle combination. If the allocated vehicle combination is not permitted for the new transport system, Visum removes the previous vehicle combination. This applies for the line, the time profile and the vehicle journey section. If the vehicle combination of a vehicle journey section is changed, line blocks get the status "Vehicle error".
