Info

Important Notice to Users of Previous VISSIM Versions This section includes information about changes and new functionality only in those cases where there are substantial changes in VISSIM compared to previous versions. A complete list of all changes and news is contained in the file RELEASE_NOTES_530_E.TXT which is included in the DOC directory of your VISSIM installation. Versions Previous to 5.30 The destinations as well as the intermediate points of pedestrian routes can be placed on ramps now. The path and cost files created with VISSIM 5.20 can no longer be used if they contain data generated with certain edge models. Each VISSIM 5.30 installation without the pedestrians add-on provides the opportunity to model up to 30 pedestrians in the network. In the 3D mode, just right-click to load a static 3D object file (*.SKP, *.DWF or *.3DS). The Select 3D Model window will open as for *.V3D files. Rightclick and pressing CTRL simultaneously is no longer required to load a file of the file types mentioned above. To delete a static 3D object, select the object by left-click and press DEL subsequently now. The left-click will no longer immediately remove the object from the network display. With Windows 7 and Windows Vista, just one EXAMPLES folder is now installed per main version. Access to this folder is provided via the environment variable VISSIM530_EXAMPLES, cf. section 2.3. Versions Previous to 5.20 For the desired position at free flow you may now also select option Right for left-side traffic and vice versa in driving behavior parameter sets. In the default driving behavior parameter set “Urban“, the Look ahead distance has been set to 4 observed vehicles (instead of 2). Now click CTRL+L (instead of just the L key) to toggle between different LOS views. Keyframes can optionally be defined with Absolute start times. In case of changes to keyframe settings, the renamed option Shift subsequent keyframes leads to a different behavior now. The start times of later frames are now shifted by Δt: Δt = new start time – old start time + new dwell time – old dwell time. User Manual © PTV AG 2011 17
