6 The Traffic Network
[DISPLAY]
Taking the currently selected
option into consideration,
matching intended lane changes
or turning movements are
visualized by direction-indicating
blinking prior to changing to a
connector due to the vehicle´s
route.
When using Direction Decisions (not recommended) it needs to be set to
a value different from All. Vehicles without any routing and direction
information will always follow those connectors which are assigned to
direction All. If no such connector exists, those vehicles will leave the
network without warning
● Thickness (3D): Thickness for
display of connectors in 3D
mode.
● Recalculate Spline Point
Height (3D mode only): Causes
the intermediate (spline) points
of the connector to always
reflect a straight “height line”
between the two end points (cf.
the “Graphical Editing - Edit
curvature” section on how to
change the height of an
individual spline point).
● Visualization: When turned off, no vehicles are shown on that
connector during the simulation. This option can be used e.g. to model
tunnels and underpasses in 2D graphics. In 3D graphics rather use the
Height fields of the surrounding links to show a realistic picture.
Otherwise vehicles will just disappear instead of using different levels.
● Label: When showing connector labels (to be switched on in VIEW -
NETWORK ELEMENTS...) this option allows to individually switch off the
label of that connector.
