Determining the link course based on a shortest path search

With this functionality you can determine the link sequence between at least two marked nodes for a PrT transport system or at least two marked stop points for a PuT transport system based on the currently set parameters.

Afterwards, you can for example edit the marked link sequence as follows.

  • Simultaneously modify the attributes of the marked links in the Quick view window.
  • Use the editing functionalities for several objects on the shortcut menu or the Edit menu.
  • Edit the line routes, which traverse the marked links, in the tabular timetable (Using the graphical and tabular timetable).

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

The Links shortcut.

2.  Select the Link sequence from shortest path search entry.

The window Specify link sequence opens.

3.  Make the desired changes.
