Setting a network object as flow bundle condition
You can set a network object as flow bundle criterion. In this case, the flow bundles will only be based on paths which lead or do not lead via this network object, depending on the settings.
1. Make sure the Graphics tools (Flow bundle) window is open and the graphics tool flow bundle is activated.
2. If applicable, click the row after which you want to insert a new flow bundle criterion.
Notes: If no row has been highlighted, the new row will be inserted at the end of the list. A new criterion with a selected network object will be automatically linked to the previous criterion by selecting the criterion AND THEN. Instead you can also specify an OR link (Combining flow bundle conditions with AND THEN and OR). |
3. Make the desired changes in the upper section.

PrT, PuT, PuT-Sys Here you can select the type of transport system. Notes Only transport systems for which an assignment was calculated are available. If the transport system PuT has been selected, you can display flow bundle volumes of the headway-based or timetable-based assignment. If the transport system PuT-Sys is selected, you can display volumes of the transport system-based assignment. |
Network object type |
In the list, click the type of network object you want to specify. The following types are provided:

4. In the network, click on the desired object of the selected network object type.
Note: If on the toolbar, the Click only active objects button is activated, you cannot use the mouse to select passive network objects (Marking only active network objects). |
A new row for the selected object is displayed in the Graphics tools (Flow bundle) window.
5. Specify further options for the new row, if required.

Click this button to specify the conditions for path selection. The button is labeled with the option selected. Click the button to switch between the options. First/And then For the first condition of a new group of flow bundle conditions, the option is First. For the following conditions, it is And then. If for the condition the option First/And then is selected, all paths are selected that fulfill the condition. Not/And then not For the first condition of a new group of flow bundle conditions, the option is Not. For the following conditions, it is And then not. If for the condition the option Not/And then not is selected, all paths are selected that do not fulfill the condition. Note If there are several conditions linked by And then, a condition only applies for the segment between the previous and next condition. |
Condition |
Display of the network object that is highlighted in the network. Tip To edit the network object displayed, click in the field and via the Search window, find the desired network object(Finding network objects in the network). |
Condition column |
Click the button to open the Edit flow bundle term window. In the window, you can change further settings for flow bundle conditions.
You can select the demand segments for all network objects.
You can select the PuT supply for PuT network objects (Using PuT network objects to make settings for flow bundle conditions).
You can select the passenger type for PuT network objects (Using PuT network objects to make settings for flow bundle conditions).
Classical: Specify for (main) zones, whether you want to include origin traffic or destination traffic or both. For the filter conditions that you specified via the buttons Active links or Active lines, you define a traffic type (Filtering paths via active and passive network objects and traffic types). With supply differentiation: The calculation of flow bundles can be restricted to a set of stops. You can select active stops or stops of selected fare zones. Within those conditions, the traffic can be differentiated according to the use of analysis lines (Calculating flow bundles on the basis of stops of selected fare zones).
In PrT you can set a time condition for a network object (PrT flow bundles with temporal restrictions). Note Time conditions only apply when the connections were generated through simulation-based dynamic assignment. |
6. Confirm with OK.
The flow bundle criterion is now specified.
