PlanitIntermodalWriterSettings

The PlanitIntermodalWriterSettings instance is accessible via the PlanitIntermodalWriter its .settings property. It allows the user to configure the PlanitIntermodalWriter. We differentiate between:

• Physical network settings
• Zoning, OD and transfer (e.g., travel zones and transfer zones) oriented Settings
• ServiceNetwork, public transport service network settings
• RoutedServices, public transport services settings

The network settings are identical to the settings exposed by the PlanitNetworkWriter and are described in detail under PlanitNetworkWriterSettings. These settings configure everything related to the physical road and/or rail network.

The zoning (public transport) settings are settings for travel zones (OD zones) and the physical infrastructure directly related to the intermodal aspect of the writer, i.e., the bus stops, train stations, platforms, etc. This information is extracted from PLANit’s intermodal zoning component, e.g., transfer zones, and connectoids (hence its categorisation under zones). They are described under Zoning Settings

The Service network settings are settings for persisting the legs between stops, it is a service network on top of the physical road network. It is typically used for public transport where services are defined in terms of legs on this service network rather than on the physical network.

The Routed services settings reflect the options regarding the (public transport) services themselves, i.e., their schedules and how these are persisted. Routed services are constructed using the service network information and either have a schedule or a frequency.

Minimum configuration requirements

All methods marked as Compulsory=YES in the Methods section are expected to be configured by the user explicitly.

Example 1 - Minimum required settings

from planit import *

# create an intermodal converter
planit_instance = Planit()
intermodal_converter = planit_instance.converter_factory.create(ConverterType.INTERMODAL)

# Open Street Map (OSM) intermodal reader        
osm_reader = intermodal_converter.create_reader(IntermodalReaderType.OSM, "<country_name>")
osm_reader.settings.set_input_file("<path_to_input_file>")

# PLANit intermodal writer
planit_writer = intermodal_converter.create_writer(IntermodalWriterType.PLANIT)
planit_writer.settings.set_output_directory("<path_to_output_dir>")

# perform conversion
intermodal_converter.convert(osm_reader,planit_writer)
