How is the waiting time for an agent using modes such as pt incorporated in the scoring function? Is it already included in the 'travel time disutility' term in the scoring function?

Dear all, I have a querry. How is the waiting time for agents using modes such as pt (or taxi) incorportated in the scoring function. More importantly, is it already incorporated in the 'travel time disutility' term in the scoring function.

Dear Jishnu,

for PT, there is an explicit config parameter: 

<param name="waitingPt" value="-0.5" /> within the scoring parameters.

For Taxi, the wait is part of the travel time, i.e. the agents depart the moment they call a taxi (and then wait for it at the doorstep).

One could modify this by writing an event handler that listens to taxi departures and vehicle enter events.

Cheers,
