6 The Traffic Network
6.3.2.2 Properties & Options
The following attributes can be defined for a connector:
● Name: Any label or comment
● Behaviour Type: The link
behavior type controls the
driving behavior characteristics
(cf. sections 5.5.1 and
5.4 for details).
● Display Type: The display
type controls the color
characteristics (cf. section
5.5.2 for details).
● from link / to link: Defines the
assignment of lane(s) of the
connector with the lanes of
both the start and the
destination link. Lane 1
represents the rightmost
lane. Multiple lanes can be
selected by pressing SHIFT.
The number of lanes selected from both lists must be the same. The
allocation can still be edited once the connector has been created.
● Recalculate Spline: If this option is checked VISSIM draws an automatic
arc (Bezier curve) with the specified number of Points between the
start and the end point of the connector. This can be done repeatedly in
order to reflect changes in the placement of an adjacent link. The number
of intermediate points of a connector determines the accuracy of the arc:
2 points are sufficient for a straight connector, 5 to 15 intermediate points
are recommended for curves (depending on the length and shape of the
connector).
