VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

Network Coding
● Visualization: When turned off, no vehicles are shown on that link
during the simulation. For example, this option can be used to model
tunnels and underpasses in 2D graphics. In 3D graphics it is
recommended to use the Height fields instead to show a realistic picture.
● Label: When showing link labels (to be switched on in VIEW - NETWORK
ELEMENTS...) this option allows to individually switch off the label of that
link.
[OTHER] Various other parameters:
● The Gradient affects acceleration and deceleration capabilities of all
vehicles on the link:
The possible acceleration decreases by 0.1 m/s² per percent of positive
gradient (road incline). If the gradient is negative it increases by 0.1 m/s²
per percent. The possible deceleration changes the other way round.
The gradient has no visual effect in 3D graphics mode (use the Height
(3D) property to model different heights in 3D).
● EVALUATION... (relevant for Traffic Display, option Aggregated values, and
for Link Evaluation): Enables/disables Segment Evaluation of that link
and defines the Segment Length. These properties can also be set for
several links simultaneously by using the multi-select option (cf. section
3.3.2).
● COST... (relevant for Dynamic Assignment
only): Opens a window where the cost and
surcharges of the link can be set. These
numbers are used by the Dynamic
Assignment to evaluate the link cost of
vehicles traveling on that link.
