In Transmodel, a DAY TYPE is defined as a combination of various properties a day may have, and which will influence the transport demand and the running conditions (e.g. traffic flow for buses).
Any single condition that is relevant to the demand will be recorded as a particular PROPERTY OF DAY. For example, “workday”, “Sunday”, “school holidays”, “market day” would each be a PROPERTY OF DAY. A workday during school holidays, which is a market day, would be a DAY TYPE, formed with the combination of those three PROPERTies OF DAY.
The most classical PROPERTY OF DAY is the DAY OF WEEK (e.g. “Wednesday”); also common are “public holiday”, “Not a holiday” and “school term day”. A DAY TYPE may associate different properties of the same type (e.g. “Tuesday or Thursday”).
More than one PropertyOfDay instance can be specified for a single DayType in order to specify a compound condition.
· Properties values specified on the same instance should be logically ANDed, for example [“Monday” AND “Public Holiday” and “Winter”].
· Separate property instances should be logically ORed together, for example [[“Sunday” AND “Not Holiday” AND “Winter”] OR [“Monday” AND “Holiday” AND “Summer ]].
