Time Intervals Section
(This section can be hidden by clicking . To show it again, click .)
Here the time interval boundaries are defined. At least one time interval is
required, thus the first and the last line may not be deleted.
Changes to the list of time interval thresholds will immediately change the
column layout in the Volumes/Compositions section.
1. Right click inside the section and choose NEW from the context menu.
A new line is added at the end of the list.
2. Enter the value of the new time interval boundary. The value must be
different from any other time but can also be smaller than the last value.
In that case, an existing time interval is split at the time newly entered.
Any time entry can only be changed to a value that is in between the
neighboring times (i.e. the time sequence cannot be changed; to do so, the
given boundary has to be deleted and a new threshold has to be added).
1. Select the time to change.
2. Type in the new time and confirm with ENTER.
All flow values remain unchanged.
1. Select the start time of the interval to be deleted.
Press CTRL simultaneously to select several rows.
2. Right click and choose DELETE from the context menu.
3. Confirm the upcoming message.
If a time interval does not contain any input values, the time interval will be
deleted when the Inputs window is closed.
Volumes/Compositions Section
For each area, the inputs of passengers are arranged in columns, sorted by
time interval. For each combination of area and time interval, a data pair
consisting of a volume and a composition may be defined (empty pairs are
allowed). It is not possible to define a volume without composition or vice
versa.
It is possible to have multiple rows for the same area if there are volumes for
different compositions defined within a time interval.
