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:

Defining cost rates for links

Cost rates by permitted public transport system can be edited like any other attribute of links:
