Coding Transit Itineraries Frank Milthorpe Transport and Population Data Centre
Objective With the availability of electronic public transport time data how do you convert this into Emme/2 itineraries ?
Issues • Full detail vs simplification • Consistency between base year and future year • Transparency in the process • Emme/2 has a number of features which can assist with graphic display
Timetable Plots • Using module 6.26 • Itineraries input with data to facilitate the timetable plots • Start time (off-set) in UT field • Pattern coded in UT field • Time between stops in US field • Master route pattern for y axis
Route Plots • Using module 2.13 option 6 (user defined data) • Required extensive use of module 2.41 (network calculator) • Separate calculations for nodes and links
Multiple pattern plots • Similar process to route plots • Summary data written in customised plot heading • Could extend to use multiple layers (currently only using single layer).
Observations • Route plot macro useful for checking itineraries • Network calculator in conjunction with 2.13 can used to generate “customised” plots
