In this setting, it is often important to distinguish between flows on direct connection routes, using single paths, and flows that include path switching. We derive a feasibility condition for path capacities supporting such direct connection flows similar to the feasibility condition for arc capacities in ordinary multi-commodity flows. The concept allows to solve large-scale real-world line planning problems in public transport including a novel passenger routing model that favors direct connections over connections with transfers.}, language = {en} } @misc{BorndoerferKarbstein, author = {Bornd{\"o}rfer, Ralf and Karbstein, Marika}, title = {Metric Inequalities for Routings on Direct Connections}, issn = {1438-0064}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-44219}, abstract = {We consider multi-commodity flow problems in which capacities are installed on paths.
