Both the car following and lane change models in VISSIM use an extensive
range of parameters. Some of these may be adapted by the experienced
user to change basic driving behavior.
As these parameters directly affect the vehicle interaction and thus can
cause substantial differences in simulation results, only experienced users
should eventually modify any of the parameters described in this section.
The driving behavior is linked to each link by its behavior type. For each
vehicle class, a different driving behavior parameter set may be defined -
even within the same link (cf. section 5.5). The parameter sets can be edited
in the Driving Behavior Parameter Sets windows which is accessible by BASE
DATA – DRIVING BEHAVIOR.
By default, five different parameter sets are predefined.
