Once line blocking is completed, you can perform a line block check for the line block version (Fundamentals: Line block check). Here, two methods are provided. Alternatively to the usual line block check, you can also select the forced block check.
1. On the Network menu, click PuT block versions.
The PuT line block versions window opens.
2. In the list, click the block version of your choice.
The line block version is highlighted.
3. In the Line blocks column, click the Check button.
|
Tip: Alternatively, in the Line block editor or in the navigator of the Line block selection window, right-click a block or block version and select Check line block... or Check blocks. |
The Block check window opens.
4. Make the desired changes.
|
Note: The settings displayed here are the same as those of the block version. As a rule, you should not change them. |

Description |
|
Forced block check |
If this option has been selected, the forced block check is performed. It becomes necessary when, through additional network changes, inconsistencies arise between the network basis and line blocks that cannot be found through a normal line block check (Fundamentals: Line block check). |
|
Create empty trips |
If this option is selected, the block version may also include interlining trips between stop points (Fundamentals: Empty trips). |
|
System routes |
Note This option is only relevant if option Create empty trips has been selected. Do not use Routes traversing links and turns which are already open for the particular transport system are determined for interlining. Use If this option has been selected, existing system routes are used for the generation of empty trips. Use exclusively If this option has been selected, existing system routes are used exclusively for the generation of empty trips. Create, if required If this option has been selected, existing system routes are used for the generation of empty trips. A shortest path search will be calculated if there is no matching system route. After successful shortest path calculation, a system route will be created from the calculated data. Tip If you use system routes, you can refine them further with the option Use only active system routes. |
|
Use only active system routes |
Note This option is only relevant if in the System routes list, you selected Use, Use exclusively or Create if required. |
|
Distance criterion (link attribute) |
In the drop-down list, you can select the link attribute which is to be regarded as best path search criterion, when interlining routes are calculated for empty trips between the last end stop point and the next start stop point. Note This option is only relevant if option Create empty trips has been selected. |
If the option has been selected, only active system routes will be used when using system routes for the generation of empty trips.
If the option has not been selected, active and passive system routes are used.5. Click the Check button.
The line block check is performed. A message appears on the screen. Line blocks with faults are indicated through the fault flags (Fundamentals: Line block check).
