Connecting demand matrices and demand segments
For an assignment, you connect the demand (available as demand matrix per demand segment) to the demand segment of your choice. During assignment, VISUM considers the demand stored in the allocated matrix for each of the demand segments you specified.
Note: You can allocate the same demand matrix to several demand segments. |
1. On the Demand menu, click Demand data.
The Demand data window opens.
2. Select the Demand segments tab.
3. In the desired demand segment row, click on the button in the first column Matrix.
The Select matrix window opens.
4. Select the matrix whose values you want to distribute to paths. Here, two methods are provided (Selecting matrices).
