In the distance-time diagram, the horizontal axis (x-axis) represents the distance traveled along
the corridor of interest, and the vertical axis (y-axis) represents time. The units on the time axis
are given in minutes. Due to the unspecified distance in the previously designed Netzgrafik, the
exact distance cannot be determined. To ensure readability, there are two different scaling
heuristics:

- **Equal distances between the sections**: Each section has the same width, i.e. it has the same

- **Equal distances between the sections**: Each section has the same width, i.e., it has the same
number of pixels. It is important to understand that the speed can only be compared within a section
based on the angles. Comparing two sections based on the angle is not very meaningful as the
actual distance travelled can be very different. Therefore, the comparison cannot be made due to
the lack of information.
