The ridership data record file is loaded. This data is stored as PuT paths on connection level, missing zones and connectors are created according to your parameter settings.

Notes: You can show the imported data in the lists PuT paths and PuT path legs (Opening a list). Data records recently read from file have plausibility status 0 first, which indicates that plausibilization has not yet been performed. In the next step, you must check the plausibility of the data so that you can then assign it. If you have specified that you want to save volumes of the selected demand segment with another target demand segment (Saving volumes by demand segment or additively), your setting is automatically reset during data import (target demand segment = selected demand segment).
