VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

6 The Traffic Network
If the desired speed decision is defined to model only a short stretch of a
low speed area (e.g. bend or curve), a second desired speed decision has
to be defined at the end to change the desired speed back to its original
value. In that case it is more appropriate to use a Reduced Speed Area,
cf. section 6.3.3.1.
Desired speed decisions for turning vehicles can be modeled by placing a
Reduced Speed Area on the turning connector.
6.3.4 Rotate and Translate Network
In the VISSIM workspace it is possible to translate and rotate the entire
network, including static 3D objects, 3D signals and keyframe positions. In
addition, when the network is translated, all background images that are
currently open in VISSIM are translated as well.
To move only a section of the network (without 3D objects, background
images or keyframes), the move functionality of the Multi-Select mode may
be used (cf. section 3.3.2).
Rotate Network
EDIT – ROTATE NETWORK... rotates the network
counterclockwise by the specified Angle.
Rotating the network does not affect background
images.
Translate Network
EDIT – TRANSLATE NETWORK... moves the network by
the specified X, Y and Z Distance.
Translating the network in z-direction does not affect
background images.
6.3.5 Pavement Markers and Zebra Crossings
The Pavement Markers edit mode allows for placing markers on lanes
showing the turning movements or direction of that lane or a high occupancy
vehicle diamond.
