VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

5 Base Data for Simulation
● No.: Unique identification of the link behavior type.
● Name: Label of the link behavior type.
● Allocation Vehicle class: Driving Behavior: Assignment of a driving behavior
parameter set to a vehicle class. To the various classes, different
driving behavior parameter sets can be assigned. One parameter set
needs to be assigned to the virtual class “default” which is used for all
vehicles whose vehicle types do not belong to any of the mentioned
vehicle classes.
Driving behavior parameter sets are defined in BASE DATA – DRIVING
BEHAVIOR... (cf. section 5.4).
Certain small VISSIM licenses (e.g. U.S. level 1) are restricted to the
maximum of two link behavior types per network file.
For pedestrian simulations, you can define WALK BEHAVIOR PARAMETER SETS
and assign them to AREA BEHAVIOR TYPES by pedestrian class in the BASE
DATA menu accordingly.
5.5.2 Display Type by Link/Connector or Construction Element
Display types can be defined via BASE DATA – DISPLAY TYPES… for links and
connectors as well as for areas, ramps and obstacles (Pedestrians add-on,
cf. section 7.3.1).
In the Display Options window, decide whether to use the display type colors
for screen display, cf. section 4.1.3.
In the Display Types window, the list of display types can be edited via NEW,
DELETE and DUPLICATE in the context menu.
When working with a link network, MULTI-SELECT IN NETWORK in the context
menu serves as a link filter for further changes to the properties of all links of
the selected display type: VISSIM automatically switches into the multiselection
edit mode when MULTI-SELECT IN NETWORK is confirmed, cf. section
6.1.
