Important characteristic numbers in the OEPNV
There are characteristic numbers in an infinite number, e.g. Characteristic numbers for the balance. , SPNV or in the passenger traffic there are generally characteristic numbers or measured variables in the ÖPNV still richer. Straight one in the Verkehrsgewerbe gives it a set of statistics and characteristic numbers.
A characteristic number is e.g. the middle travel width. This characteristic number indicates thus, how much kilometers average passenger back puts. If such a characteristic number is well-known, the middle travel width can as Characteristic number with other transporting enterprises compared become. Also comparisons of characteristic numbers over different Verkehrsträger is possible and also one accomplishes. A once defined characteristic number can be pursued over many years and wins so on Force of expression. Over characteristic numbers developments can be read off. If a characteristic number as important can a characteristic number is classified as warning means are used. Falls below or if the defined characteristic number exceeds a certain value, then the management can be informed accordingly and possibly introduced counter measures.
Characteristic numbers and measured variables are thus more than only Statistics. However characteristic numbers straight in the ÖPNV and SPNV must generally be regarded and analyzed and in the passenger traffic exactly around wrong statements of a characteristic number to recognize.
- Number of persons: The number of persons is a characteristic number, which shows the traffic volume. Here each ticket is converted into persons. For time tickets (Monatskarten or weekly tickets) values, e.g. a Monatskarte = 54 are defined travels = 54 persons. So know the amount of that Persons per month, transporting enterprise and Verkehrsträger to be determined.
- Person kilometer: The person kilometers is one of bedeutensten characteristic numbers in the passenger traffic. Those Person kilometers reflect the traffic capacity or transportation again. The number of persons is multiplied by the put back distance. Persons x tariff kilometers = person kilometers = traffic capacity. The traffic capacity is economically important measure size, because from it can the attainable transporter-solve to be determined.
- Vehicle kilometer: The vehicle kilometers is the distance put back by in laws vehicles. The vehicle kilometers is a characteristic number, the force of expression over capacities and rates of utilization permits.
- Seat kilometer and standing place kilometer: Seat kilometers and standing place kilometers are within traffic groups possible characteristic numbers for the allocation of income. The seat kilometers and the standing place kilometers give likewise the possible Traffic capacity on and are close with that To see vehicle kilometers. There it however different vehicles gives (e.g. Standard line bus or the substantially larger Gelenkomnibus) is the seat and Standing place kilometer more meaningfully.
