PuT operating indicators: Infrastructure cost tab
Note: This tab is only displayed if you have activated the Line costing calculation add-on (Enabling or disabling add-ons). |
Element |
Description |
Calculate for line hierarchy |
If this option has been selected, selected cost values are calculated for the line hierarchy. |
Calculate for territories |
If this option has been selected, the cost values are not only calculated on the level of detail selected in the General tab, but also by territory. |
Calculate Link cost Operator cost Stop point cost |
If this option has been selected for a network object type, these costs by network object type enter the infrastructure cost calculation. In the selection list, select this chosen network object type and set the parameters for the calculation of up to three cost values in the columns 1, 2 and 3 for each of the chosen network object types. Note Stop point costs are defined by stop point and will be distributed evenly to the vehicle journeys, for which boarding or alighting is permissible at this stop point. |
Name |
User-defined cost name (optional) |
Cost type |
In the selection list, select a cost type. Depreciation cost Debt service for the annual cost of amortization and interest Running cost Maintenance and operating costs Utilization cost Fees for using the network object, for example track fees for links |
Depreciation period |
Depreciation time DT for depreciation costs Note This parameter is only provided for the cost type Depreciation cost. |
Interest rate |
Interest rate p for the depreciation cost Note This parameter is only provided for the cost type Depreciation cost. |
Time reference |
In the selection list, select the reference time period - either Analysis period or Analysis horizon - for running costs. Note This parameter is only provided for the cost type Running cost. |
Length reference |
Only for links (Fundamentals: Link costs) In the selection list, select the reference distance by cost type. Length reference The link cost values refer to the total link length. Meter/Kilometers (or Feet/Miles respectively) The link cost values refer to 1 m/km (or ft/mi) of the total link length. In this case, the cost value of each cost type must be multiplied with the link length. |
Service reference |
Only for stop points (Fundamentals: Stop point cost) In the selection list, select the reference by cost type. all vehicle journeys The cost values are distributed to all vehicle journeys. Beginning+ending vehicle journeys The cost values are distributed to all vehicle journeys starting or terminating at the stop point. |
Weighting |
Only for operators (Fundamentals: Operator cost) For an operator, six indicators can be weighted by a factor prior to the distribution of the operator costs to the lines (or to other objects of the line hierarchy). Service kilometers Service time Seat kilometers Number of vehicle journeys Passenger kilometers Passenger trips unlinked For each indicator you can specify the distribution key in % to model the indicator's weight for the distribution of the operator costs. Note The total weighting must equal 100 %. |
As a prerequisite, cost rates have to be defined for the network objects.
Defining cost rates for stop points
Cost rates can be edited like any other attribute of stop points:
- For a selected stop point in the Cost tab (Stop points: Cost tab)
- For multiple stop points in the Multi-edit stop points window
- In the Quick view window (Modifying attribute values in the Quick view)
- In the Stop points list (Editing the properties of objects in lists).
Defining cost rates for links
Cost rates by permitted public transport system can be edited like any other attribute of links:
- For a selected link in the PuT-Sys tab (Links: PuT TSys tab)
- For multiple links in the Multi-edit links window
- In the Quick view window (Modifying attribute values in the Quick view)
- In the Links list (Editing the properties of objects in lists).
Defining cost rates for operators
Cost rates can be edited like any other attribute of operators:
- For a selected operator via menu Network > PuT operators in the Edit operator window > Basis tab (Editing the attribute values of operators)
- In the PuT operators list (Editing the properties of objects in lists).
