The New Network Calculator

One of the most important new developments in Release 5.0 is certainly the implementation of the new Network Calculator , module 2.41. While remaining fully upward compatible with the previous versions of this module, the functionality has been greatly enhanced. Since all the new features are described in detail in the Release Notes and the new User's Manual, we shall limit the discussion here to outlining briefly the main new features and options - without going into any technical details.

The following is a short summary of the main new features and enhancements of the Network Calculator:

The wealth of new features in the Network Calculator included in Release 5.0 will undoubtedly give rise to many new and novel applications. Even if most of the developments are related to transit, there are many new possibilities that will benefit non-transit applications as well: temporary attributes, reverse link attributes and mode modifications, to name just a few.

For transit application the new Network Calculator opens an entirely new world of possible new applications. They range from the comparison of on board counts, over the automatic adjustment of line headways, up to implementing a complete congested transit assignment. In future issues of EMME/2 NEWS we will report on some of these possibilities in more detail.
