The VISSIM network consists of
► static data remaining unchanged during the simulation and
► dynamic data containing all information about the simulated traffic.
Static data
Static data represents the roadway infrastructure. This data is required for
both simulation and testing of a traffic actuated signal control logic. Static
data includes:
► Links with start and end points as well as optional intermediate points;
links are directional roadway segments with a specified number of lanes
► Connectors between links, e.g. to model turnings, lane drops and lane
gains
► Location and length of PT stops
► Position of signal heads/stop lines including a reference to the
associated signal group
► Position and length of detectors
► Location of PT call points
