Graphical timetable

In the graphical timetable, vehicle journeys or vehicle journey sections are depicted in a space-time diagram. You can align the diagram horizontally or vertically. It provides you with a clear overview of connections for different types of vehicle journeys, passenger trip chains, forced chainings and conflicts of infrastructure use. The options available for formatting various elements and bars of vehicle journey item attributes allow you to perform additional analyses and generate informative views. In Image 280, the stroke display is classified according to lines (User Manual: Specifying basic settings for the Network editor window), to distinguish vehicle journeys of different lines by using different colors.

Item bars, which can be scaled with direct and indirect vehicle journey or vehicle journey section attributes, can be drawn for vehicle journeys and vehicle journey sections (User Manual: Specifying basic settings for the Network editor window).

Item bars can also be classified (User Manual: Specifying basic settings for the Network editor window). In Image 281 classification is carried out with the vehicle journey volume.

Visum offers the possibility of displaying multiple bars with different attributes on vehicle journeys or vehicle journey sections (User Manual: Specifying basic settings for the Network editor window). The Image 282 displays bars for Boarding passengers, Alighting passengers and Through passengers.

Using the classified display of city line stops allows you to highlight final line stops or other important stops. You can also color areas between city lines, e.g. to highlight single-track railways. This is done by using aggregated attributes of network objects traversed by the line routes. Crossing trips within such a section can be displayed as conflicts (Image 283).
