Generating zones

For all or all active nodes, you can generate zones and connectors in one step.

1.  In the Network window, right-click the Zones button.

The Zones shortcut menu opens.

2.  Select the Generate entry.

The Generate zones window opens.

3.  Make the desired changes.

Section

Description

Network statistics

Display of the number of zones, nodes, stop areas, and served stop areas in the network, as well as information on how many of these are connected.

Note

Stop areas are considered connected if a connected node is allocated to them (Managing stop areas).

Generate zones for active nodes only

If the option has been selected, zones are generated for active nodes only.

If the option has not been selected, zones are generated for all nodes.

Tip

If you just want to generate zones for nodes with stop areas or at served stop areas, set the node filter accordingly (Using filters to set network objects active or passive).

Zones

Type of generated zones

Zone type (0..9) for a categorization (Zones: General attributes)

Minimum ZoneNo for generated zones

Enter the lowest zone number to be generated.

The default number is the highest zone number in the network + 1.

NewZoneNo. := MinZoneNo. – 1 + NodeNo.

Use the option to specify that each new zone number is generated from the lowest zone number – 1+ number of the node for which the zone is to be generated. The value of the minimum zone number for generated zones then functions as an offset.

Use name of the allocated stop

Use the option to specify that zones generated for nodes with at least one stop area use the name of the respective stop as zone name.

Note

If the allocated stop has no name, the newly generated zones will have no names.

Connectors

Type of generated connectors

The specified type is used to differentiate generated connectors from already existing ones (Properties and options of connectors).

Connector length

Distance between the zone centroid and the node (Connectors: Basis tab)

Open connectors for the following TSys

Use the button to select the transport systems of type PrT or PuTWalk, which are permitted on the newly created connectors (Connectors: Transport systems tab).

Connector time for all permitted TSys

Time which is needed to travel the distance between the zone centroid and the node, independent of the permitted transport system (Connectors: Transport systems tab).

4.  Confirm with OK.

Zones and connectors are generated to all or all active nodes.
