Setting travel times for paths

You can assign travel times from static or dynamic assignments to one, several, or all paths. Travel times are set at all profile points depending on the selected reference point.

Afterwards there are travel times for the selected paths. Each of these paths represents a trajectory of a vehicle that travels a given path like a vehicle in the assignment and is at the given reference point at the given time. This can be at the beginning, at the end or at another point along the path.

Note: The functionality is particularly useful for user-defined paths that start and end at nodes, since they are not among the PrT paths from assignments.

1.  Open the Paths window (Opening the Paths window).

2.  Select the paths for which you want to set travel times.

3.  Open the shortcut menu with a right click.

4.  Select the Set travel times entry.

Tip: Alternatively, you can specify travel times for all paths by right-clicking the PrT paths button in the Network window. Then from the shortcut menu, choose Set travel times.

The Set travel times window opens.

Element

Description

Only for active PrT paths

If this option is active, travel times are only set for active paths.

Note

This option is only provided if multiple paths have been selected.

Reference item

Select the reference item.

The departure time is entered at the reference point. This results in the relative times of all other profile points of the respective path.

The selection changes depending on whether you set times for one or more paths. If only one path is selected, the following entries are available for selection:

  • First PrT path item
  • Last PrT path item
  • Origin zone / start of the path
  • Destination zone / End of the path
  • All other path items of the path, where applicable

If several paths are selected, you can only select the start / end of the path or the first / last PrT path item.

Departure time at reference item

Here you enter the departure time at the reference item.

If an annual calendar is used, you also specify a day.

Additional stay time at reference item

Here you can define an additional stop time at the reference item.

If the Reference item is the origin / destination zone or the start/end of the path, you cannot define a stay time.

Use travel times from transport system

Selection of a stop point attribute

The times of the specified transport system are used, depending on the assignment result:

  • If there is an SBA result, the internally available travel times in the loaded network are used.
  • If there is a static result, the travel times in the loaded network tCur are used.
  • If there is no assignment result, the travel times from the unloaded network are used.

Turn all path items into profile points

Travel times are only saved at profile points.

If this option is selected, all path items are turned into profile points and the respective travel times are saved at these profile points.

If this option is not selected, only the first and last path items and the reference item are turned into profile points. All existing profile points are retained.

5.  Confirm with OK.

The travel times are calculated for the selected paths and saved at the respective profile points. The results can be found in the path lists.
