Here you can select the desired level of aggregation.

An edge groups all spatial sections of vehicle journeys between successive transfer nodes or within a transfer node, which belong to the same transport system, operator, line etc. A set of edges is determined by the number of transfer nodes, the vehicle journey selection, and the aggregation level selected (Fundamentals: Display of supply in the schematic line diagram).

Select one of the following levels:

• Transport system directed / undirected
• Operator directed / undirected
• Main line directed / undirected
• Line directed / undirected
• Line route
• Time profile
• Vehicle journey
• Service trip pattern number
• Vehicle journey attribute

If this option is selected, Visum takes the direction code attribute on the line route level into account for displaying vehicle journeys. You can display the two directions of a vehicle journey separately if the vehicle journey runs a full "stop event - stop event - section" in both directions. This might, for instance, become necessary when a vehicle journey runs in both directions on a section between two stop events.

Example

Outward journey via stop events: A-B-C-D-C-E

Return journey via stop events: E-C-D-C-B-A

The vehicle journey runs on section C-D-C during the outward and return journey in the same sequence, but can be displayed separately if the corresponding option is selected.

Here you can select an identification attribute to allocated the vehicle journeys to the edge courses.

Notes

The selection depends on the specified aggregation level. The selected attribute is saved to the layout *.xml file.

When editing the timetable data or the layout parameters, vehicle journeys will be reallocated to the edge courses on the basis of this attribute. Your layout parameters for hidden edge courses will not be lost (Fundamentals: Saving layout information and transferring layouts to variants). You can use the layout of a timetable for further timetables.

Here, you can specify whether the selection of the displayed vehicle journeys is done via superordinate lines and directions or via individual vehicle journeys (Displaying vehicle journeys in the schematic line diagram).

Vehicle journeys

The Vehicle journey selection window displays all vehicle journeys available for selection.

Lines and directions

The Vehicle journey selection window displays all lines available for selection.

Here you can select an identification attribute for vehicle journeys. The vehicle journeys selected for display will be saved to the layout file *.xml with this attribute. Select one of the following attributes:

• Vehicle journey: Number
• Vehicle journey: Name

If the option has been selected, vehicle journeys will be virtually extended to the entire time profile.

Note

Vehicle journeys will then be treated as if they would reach from the first to the last time profile item, their actual spatial extent will thus be ignored.

You can specify to which stops edges are connected. Under the options you will find an illustrating example.

Edges are generally connected to all stops where boarding or alighting is permissible.

all stops where boarding or alighting is permitted

If this option has been selected, edges are only connected to stops where boarding or alighting is permissible.

all stops with profile points of the time profile

If this option has been selected, edges are additionally connected to stops which are profile points of the time profile.

all stops with route points of the line route

If this option has been selected, edges are additionally connected to stops which are route points of the line route.

all stops of the line route

If this option has been selected, edges are additionally connected to all stops of the line route.

Example

A line route runs from A to C via B. A and C are profile points of the time profile where boarding or alighting is permissible, B is only a route point of the line route. If one of the first two options has been selected, the edges are only connected to the transfer nodes for A and C, but run past B. If one of the last two options has been selected, the edges run between the transfer nodes for A and B as well as between the transfer nodes for B and C.

This option provides a further filtering possibility.

If the option has been checked, you can select a line route item attribute. Edges are only connected to those stops at which this attribute is either not equal to zero or not empty.

Notes

The option is only available if the following option has not been selected: Connect edges of a vehicle journey at all stops where boarding or alighting is permitted.

Still edges are always connected to stops where boarding or alighting is permissible.

If the option has been selected, only edges of a vehicle journey that comply with the below filter conditions will be selected.

Note

Unlike in the window where you select the displayed vehicle journeys by setting a time slot in which vehicle journeys are displayed, you can specify here which edges of a vehicle journey are displayed within a certain time slot.

Here you can specify which edges of a vehicle journey are displayed within the below defined time slot.

Departs from the 'from transfer node'

If this option has been selected, only the edges of a vehicle journey which depart from the from transfer node are displayed.

Between 'from transfer node' and 'to transfer node'

If this option has been selected, only the edges of a vehicle journey are displayed whose time interval (departure time at from transfer node, arrival time at to transfer node) overlaps with the fixed time slot.
