Vehicle kilometer as timetable costs
Timetable costs are not a common term in Verkehrsgewerbe. Under the term timetable costs I summarize myself the different things, with the transporting enterprise during a change in the timetable on that Cost side strike down.
If a timetable is changed, then the timetable must be published. Mostly therefore costs of the pressure of new timetables enstehen.
he notice timetables at the stops are special cost-intensive. For each stop an individual timetable must be provided and printed. Subsequently, a coworker of the Vekehrsbetriebes must drive off the stops and exchange the timetables.
For many Verkehrsträger (this applies particularly in the ÖPNV) the timetables must be approved. One Change in the timetable must thus in a while ago that Authorizing agency to be submitted and these must agree the new timetable. For this one becomes Handling charge due. This handling charge holds itself however in the framework and is for transporting enterprises no genuine cost factor.
For a once approved timetable an operating obligation exists. A transporting enterprise must drive thus a once approved timetable. All the same whether there Passengers to be transported or not. If a change in the timetable is desired, then those must Authorizing agency of the change in the timetable only again agree.
From the timetable the vehicle kilometers and the personnel hours result. This cost factor is the entscheidenste for the transporting enterprises. The vehicles must drive the authorized timetable and accordingly to be reproached and used. In a transporting enterprise are the costs of those Vehicle reproaching, the fuel costs and the personnel expenditure the Bedeutsammsten. Therefore the transporting enterprises can win also at most money, if an existing timetable at the lowest possible expenditure of personnel and vehicles can be mastered.
The Vekehrsbetriebe does thus well to optimize the existing vehicles in a vehicle circulation. During the timetable production must here of that Transporting enterprises a large attention to those Timetable optimization to be put.
