This paper investigates existing departure time models for a schedule-based transit assignment and their parametrization. It analyzes the impact of the temporal resolution of travel demand and suggests functions for evaluating the adaptation time as part of the utility of a path. The adaptation time quantifies the time between the preferred and the scheduled departure times. The findings of the analysis suggested that travel demand should be discretized into intervals of 1 min, with interval borders right between the full minute, that is, ±0.5 min. It was shown that longer time intervals led to arbitrary run volumes, even for origin–destination pairs with just one transit line and a fixed headway. Although a linear relationship between adaptation time and adaptation disutility is a common assumption in several publications, it cannot represent certain types of passenger behavior. For some trip purposes, passengers may be insensitive to small adaptation times, but highly sensitive to large adaptations. This requires a nonlinear evaluation function.

本文研究了基于时间表的公交分配的现有出发时间模型及其参数化。它分析了旅行需求的时间分辨率的影响，并提出了用于评估适应时间的函数，作为路径效用的一部分。适应时间量化了首选出发时间和预定出发时间之间的时间。分析结果表明，出行需求应离散为 1 分钟的间隔，间隔边界正好在整分钟之间，即 ±0.5 分钟。结果表明，更长的时间间隔会导致任意的运行量，即使对于只有一条公交线路和固定车头的起点-目的地对也是如此。尽管适应时间和适应不效用之间的线性关系是一些出版物中的常见假设，它不能代表某些类型的乘客行为。对于某些旅行目的，乘客可能对小适应时间不敏感，但对大适应时间高度敏感。这需要非线性评估函数。
