Import V3 Boarding Penalty

This tool is used to import boarding penalties into UT3 (line attribute 3) from a *.txt file.

The file should be delimited by ';' and must contain the headers 'boarding_penalty' and 'filter_expression'.

  • 'boarding_penalty' indicates an applied peanlty to be stored in UT3
  • 'filter_expression' indicates the expression used by the Emme Matrix Calculator to filter transit lines

For example:

boarding_penalty filter_expression description
0.0 ut1=26 and mode=m TTC subway

In the text file:

boarding_penalty ; filter_expression ; description

0.0; ut1=26 and mode=m; TTC subway
