[network analysis]
In routing and network analysis, the time during which a stop can be visited. For example, on a bus route, each stop may have a time window of 15 minutes. If the bus arrives before its 15-minute time slot, it will wait until the appropriate time before proceeding. If a bus arrives after its 15-minute time slot, the stop will display a symbol to denote a time violation.
