SwissRailRaptor PT Configuration & Troubleshooting

What problem does it solve?

Configuring SwissRailRaptor for realistic public transit routing in MATSim can be challenging, often leading to agents not boarding or transfers failing. This Skill provides comprehensive guidance to correctly set up SwissRailRaptor, diagnose routing problems, and ensure your PT agents move efficiently through the network.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Optimal Configuration: Set up the SwissRailRaptor algorithm for optimal public transit routing, including intermodal access/egress.
• PT Routing Troubleshooting: Diagnose problems like zero boarding events, failed transfers, or agents preferring other modes.
• Transfer Station Validation: Ensure transfer stations are correctly configured with stopAreaId for seamless agent movement.
• Use Case: Your MATSim agents aren't using public transit or aren't transferring correctly. Use this Skill to diagnose why PT agents aren't boarding vehicles, verify your useIntermodalAccessEgress setting, and ensure transfer stations have matching stopAreaIds.

Quick Start

Configure SwissRailRaptor for a PT-only scenario with simple population plans, setting useIntermodalAccessEgress to false and transfer penalties to zero for initial testing.
