VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

Network Coding
● No.: Unique identification of the reduced speed area.
● Name: Label or comment
● Length: Length of reduced speed area.
● Lane: Lane position within the link.
● At: Start position (link/ connector coordinate)
● Time (from/until): Defines the time interval for which the reduced speed
area is active.
● Label: When showing labels (names) of all reduced speed areas (cf.
VIEW - NETWORK ELEMENTS...), this option allows to individually switch off
the label of that reduced speed area.
● Vehicle Class - Desired Speed - acceleration combination: For each
relevant vehicle class one data line needs to be defined. It includes the
desired speed distribution to be used by vehicles of that class while they
travel in the reduced speed area and a deceleration value that defines
the maximum deceleration used to slow down prior to the reduced speed
area. The lower the value, the further away a faster vehicle starts to slow
down.
Use NEW, EDIT and DELETE to create, modify or remove a data line.
In order for a reduced speed area to become effective vehicles need to
pass its start position.
A reduced speed area should not overlap with a stop line (of a signal head,
priority rule or stop sign) but should start after a stop line. Otherwise it
might happen that the stop line is not recognized by all vehicles.
The combination of vehicle classes, speed distribution and acceleration
value of the last reduced speed area that was edited is used as a default
when placing a new reduced speed area.
