Start stop point |
Stop point of the selected line route, at which the vehicle journey begins. Enter a departure time at the selected start stop point. Notes The name of the start stop point consists of the stop point attributes number and code or number and name if no code is specified. If the line route or the time profile of a vehicle journey is modified, the previous start stop point is kept, if possible. |

Stop point of the selected line route, at which the vehicle journey ends Notes The arrival time at the end stop point is calculated automatically. The name of the end stop point consists of the stop point attributes number and code or number and name if no code is specified. If the line route or the time profile of a vehicle journey is modified, the previous end stop point is kept, if possible. Note You can edit the Start stop point and the End stop point of a vehicle journey directly in the tabular timetable: Make sure that attribute FromTProfItemIdentifier and ToTProfItemIdentifier are displayed in the tabular timetable. There are several options for editing the value:
|
Ref stop point |
Stop point of the selected line route, used to fixate the departure time (Setting reference stop points) Note By default, the start stop point is the reference stop point. Enter the departure time at the chosen reference stop point if it deviates from the start stop point. The departure time at the start stop point will then be updated. |
5. Confirm with OK.
The vehicle journey is added to the timetable.
Note: If you insert a vehicle journey which lies within a coupled section, a synchronized vehicle journey will be inserted on the coupled time profile, too. Once you confirm a query, the Edit coupled vehicle journey window opens, where you can directly edit the attributes of the new vehicle journey on the coupled time profile. |
