5 Base Data for Simulation
5.2.4 Color Distribution
This distribution is only necessary for graphical display - it has no effect on
simulation results. A Color Distribution can be defined and edited via BASE
DATA - DISTRIBUTIONS - COLOR...
The color distribution is used instead
of a single color for a type of vehicles
or pedestrians. Even if only one color
should be used for a type a distribution
still needs to be defined (with
one color only).
Up to 10 colors are possible for each
distribution and each one needs to
have a relative percentage > 0
(Share). The absolute percentage is
automatically computed by VISSIM as
the proportion of an individual Share
compared to the sum of all Shares.
5.2.5 Model Distribution
This distribution defines the variety of the dimensions, colors and textures
which is required for graphical display:
► vehicle properties within a vehicle type
► properties of pedestrians within a type of pedestrians
Especially the dimensions have an effect on simulation results (e.g. due to
length and width of vehicles or pedestrians, as applicable).
A Model Distribution can be defined or edited via BASE DATA - DISTRIBUTIONS -
2D/3D MODEL... in the 2D/3D Model Distribution window.
