Table 1. Conjectures on the performance of the three network types in the experiment.
Figure 10. Comparison of performance of three network types.
Figure 11. Comparison of trip legs by mode in all three network types. A trip is the direct travel between two destinations with one or more transport modes. An example for a trip is home to work. A trip leg is a segment of a trip, which is separated by a change of transport mode or an intervening stop with a short dwell time (e.g., stop for a coffee, public transport transfers).
