Calculation of the operating costs
The total costs can be divided into vehicle-dependent costs and infrastructure costs. These are the provided cost blocks:
Vehicle type dependent costs |
|
Hourly costs / Cost time |
Time-dependent costs for personnel Time costs = service time • hourly costs rate of vehicle journeys + empty time • hourly cost rate of empty trips |
Kilometer costs / Cost distance |
Kilometer-dependent costs for fuel, repairs, etc. Distance costs = ServiceKm • kilometer cost rate of vehicle journeys + empty kilometers • kilometer cost rate of empty trips |
Vehicle costs / Cost vehicle |
Assigned fixed cost for a vehicle (debt service as well as other fixed costs such as insurance costs). Vehicle costs = cost rate per vehicle unit • number of vehicles The number of vehicles is an output attribute of line blocking. |
Infrastructure costs |
|
Stop point costs / Cost stop point |
Costs for the usage of stop points These can be composed of depreciation costs (for example investment costs), running costs (for example maintenance costs) and utilization costs (for example fees for using the stops). |
Costs 1/2/3 stop points |
Three cost rates which are included in the calculation of stop point costs (Stop point cost). |
Link costs / Cost links |
Costs for the usage of links (infrastructure cost) The link costs are divided equally between the vehicle journeys which use the link. |
Costs 1/2/3 links |
Three cost rates which are included in the calculation of link costs (Link costs). |
Operator costs / Cost operator |
Share of costs for general operational costs These can be composed of depreciation costs (for example investment costs) or running costs (for example maintenance costs). |
Costs 1/2/3 operators |
Three cost rates which are included in the calculation of operator costs (Operator cost). |
The total costs which accumulate for operating public transport, are returned in the following attribute.

Costs = time costs + distance costs + vehicle costs + stop point costs + link costs + operator costs |
