Trips import

The trip list is a csv file with the column or attribute names in the first row. Mandatory columns are household, person, and trip codes, as well as the codes and activity codes before and after the trip. Other optional trip attributes include start and end time, mode code, and start and end location number. The read schedules generate or overwrite the schedule no. 1 of a person.

The household and person keys connect the trips to the synthetic persons. The attribute names of the keys must be identical to the names of the corresponding attributes of the persons and households.

Only for the first trip of a person the From-activity code is evaluated (and must also be specified only for this trip). For all subsequent trips, the To-activity code of the previous trip is used instead. So a trip always starts where the previous one ended.

Start and end times are given in seconds and refer to the beginning of the analysis period. Day changes can accordingly be modeled with times over 24 hours.
