6.4.1.2 Properties & Options
For each data line the following attributes are to be defined:
● Vehicle type: Defines for which vehicle type the
following data is defined.
● Relative flow: The relative percentage
(proportion) of this vehicle type. After a
composition is completed, VISSIM internally
adds up all Relative flow values and calculates
the absolute percentages to be used for each
vehicle type of this composition.
Therefore it is not necessary to enter values strictly between 0.0 and 1.0
but it is also possible to enter vehicle flows instead of percentages.
● Desired speed: The speed distribution to be used for the specified
vehicle type when entering the VISSIM network.
