Looking inside the line, not only at total demand

0.0 / 20 s

In one sentence

Buses, boardings, alightings, segment loads and waiting — all from the same simulation run.

Why it matters

One line as the simulation sees it: boardings and alightings appear stop by stop as vehicles pass and accumulate over departures; the load profile shows where the vehicle fills and where it exceeds capacity; waiting and running time against the timetable are read from the same run. The clip ends on the departures and vehicle blocks of the line in Replan.City.

A network is more than its total demand: where the vehicle fills, where people wait, where a feeder change shifts transfers. Reading a line stop by stop, from one simulation run, is the difference between a forecast and a planning tool.
