You can pool all or all active stops which are linked by walk links in one single stop and simultaneously use the former walk link time data as transfer walk link matrix for the new stop.
For each transport system of the type PuTWalk, the procedure determines all directed pairs (a,b) of stop areas connected by walk links permitted for the respective Walk transport system. If required, you can restrict the path search to the active links.
For each of the pairs found, let t(a,b) be the walk time on the links. The following applies:
If s(a) and s(b) denote the stops allocated to the stop areas a and b, and if s(a) <> s(b), then the stops are merged by allocating stop area b to stop s(a).
- All other stop areas b’ also belonging to s(b) are assigned to s(a) as well.
- All previously defined transfer walk link times between stop areas within s(a) and s(b) are kept.
- Subsequently, s(b) is an isolated stop, i.e. without stop areas.
- You can delete s(b) automatically, if desired.
t(a,b) is stored as the transport system-specific transfer walk time between a and b within the enlarged stop s(a). This step is omitted if stop area a and stop area b had already been allocated to the same stop before (i.e. s(a) = s(b)) with a predefined transfer walk time between a and b which is < t(a,b).

Note: If you merge the stops, the current assignment result is deleted. |
1. If required, set the stops active, which you want to merge, via
- the spatial selection (Setting network objects active/passive via the spatial selection) and/or
- filter criteria (Using filters to set network objects active or passive).
The selected stops are active.
2. In the Network window, right-click the Stops button.
The Stops context menu opens.
3. Select the Merge stops entry.
The Merge stops window opens.
4. Make the desired changes.

Element |
Description |
|
Only edit active objects |
If the option has been selected, only active stops which are connected by walk links will be merged. |
|
Consider only active walk links |
If the option has been selected, only active walk links will be considered during the path search. |
|
Delete newly created isolated stops |
If the option has been selected, all stops with no stop areas will be deleted automatically after the merging operation. |
|
Close used walk links |
If the option has been selected, the walk links used for the combination of the walk links will be closed to the transport system PuTWalk after the merging operation. |
5. Confirm with OK.
The stops are merged.
