Indicators at the line hierarchy

If you are not interested in the territory-based evaluation of indicators, you can also carry out evaluations directly at the line hierarchy levels. For a PuT operator it is important, for example, to know how the volume/capacity ratio of its vehicles is along the course of the line routes. Based on this, the operator can decide to lengthen or shorten a line route. The Table 205 shows the beginning and the end of the line route course of line 002 and the saturation of seats between stops. Between Siemensallee and Lassallestraße, the average volume/capacity ratio is only 4 %, so that shortening the line may be a possibility.

The service kilometers are often taken into account for the distribution of the calculated operating costs between an infrastructural operator and the provider of the PuT supply. In this example, Line S3 uses the infrastructure of the Deutsche Bahn (German Rail). In the Lines list, the service kilometers can be displayed per line.

Visum supports you when making a decision on the line bundle to be run by a bus operator ("To which operator, which of the lines are allocated?"). For each line, typical indicators such as costs, total revenue, revenue per passenger trip, total cost coverage and cost coverage per passenger trip are calculated. The table shows the values for the analysis horizon of one year. Lines with a cost coverage deficit have a negative amount of coverage. In terms of balancing the high-profit lines and low-profit lines as fair as possible, this data can be used to form line bundles, for which PuT operators then can apply in the framework of a tender.
