6 The Traffic Network<br />

Dynamic data<br />

Dynamic data is only to be specified for traffic simulation applications (not for<br />

applications using only the test functionality). It includes the following<br />

information:<br />

► Traffic volumes including vehicle mix (e.g. truck percentage) for all links<br />

entering the network<br />

► Location of routing decision points with routes (link sequences to be<br />

followed), differentiated by time and vehicle classification<br />

► Priority rules (right-of-way) to model unsignalized intersections,<br />

permissive turns at signalized junctions and yellow boxes (keep-clearareas).<br />

► Location of stop signs<br />

► Public transport routing, departure times and dwell times<br />

Measures of Effectiveness (MOE)<br />

For measures of effectiveness the following elements (among others) can be<br />

coded:<br />

► Data collection points (local measurements, user-definable, e.g. traffic<br />

volume, acceleration and speed discriminated by vehicle class),<br />

► Travel time measurement sections and delay data collection,<br />

► Queue counters for queue length statistics.<br />

<strong>User</strong>s of the Pedestrians add-on should refer to section 7.2, since similar<br />

evaluations are provided for pedestrian flows.<br />
