VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

5 Base Data for Simulation
[EXTERNAL
DRIVER
MODEL]
Others:
● PT PARAMETERS (only applicable for public transport vehicles): Opens the
Vehicle Type window: PT parameters to define the parameters for dwell
time calculation (cf. section 6.5.2.6, option B).
● The EMISSION CALCULATION settings will only be effective if an emission
model (optional VISSIM module) is activated. For details please refer to
separate documentation.
● External Emission Model (not available in all VISSIM licenses):
Indicates that this vehicle type is subject to an external emission model.
● Use external driver model
(add-on): Indicates that this
vehicle type is not subject to the
VISSIM driving behavior
parameters but ruled by an
external driver model.
● Path and filename of driver model
DLL: Enter or select filename.
● Path and filename of parameter
file: Enter or select filename.
VISSIM sends the following data to the *.DLL even if 0 was returned by
DriverModelGetValue (DRIVER_DATA_SETS_XY_COORDINATES, ...):
► DRIVER_DATA_VEH_REAR_X_COORDINATE and
► DRIVER_DATA_VEH_REAR_Y_COORDINATE
This means that vehicle rear world coordinates are available in an external
driver model for vehicles on VISSIM links.
Two new type codes have been added to the files DRIVERMODEL.CPP and
DRIVERMODEL.H in VISSIM version 5.20-10:
► DRIVER_DATA_STATUS
► DRIVER_DATA_ STATUS _DETAILS
In the DRIVERMODEL.CPP, the command DriverModelSetValue() can
handle the following two parameters without returning zero:
► DRIVER_DATA_VEH_ACTIVE_LANE_CHANGE
► DRIVER_DATA_VEH_REL_TARGET_LANE
