Time
Intervals
This section can be hidden by clicking . To show it again, click .
Here all boundaries of the time intervals for which the routing decisions of
this type should be active are defined by routing decision type. In case of
temporal deviations of the flow shares using the routes of a routing
decision, various non-overlapping time intervals have to be defined.
VISSIM allows for different route proportions for each time interval. When
multiple routes are defined for a routing decision all Relative Flows for each
time interval are listed in the Routes section and can be edited there.
For routing decisions of the Parking lot type not only the Time interval(s)
need to be defined, but also the Rate of parking vehicles (in %) has to be
entered and the Time distribution has to be selected per time interval.
Cf. section 5.2.6.
At least one time interval is to be defined, thus the first and the last line may
not be deleted. By default, the time interval 0-99999s is defined. Changes
to the list will immediately change the column layout in the Routes section.
Create/Edit/Delete time interval(s): For details, please refer to 6.4.3.1.
For Sorting & Filter options provided in the list of routing decisions and in the
list of routes, please cf. section 6.4.4.5.
6.4.4.3 Editing
For all subsequent actions the Routes mode needs to be active.
Graphical
selection
Upon selection of the Routes mode, the elements are highlighted:
► routing decisions are shown in dark red
► destination cross sections of all routing decisions are shown in dark
green (whereas each parking lot is surrounded by a blue frame).
Selection of a routing decision (optional, cf. Info box below):
1. Left-click the link where the routing decision is located,
2. Left-click the routing decision:
- The selected routing decision is displayed in light red and
- only the corresponding destination cross sections (dark green) or
parking lots (solid blue) remain visible.
Selection of a route starting from the selected routing decision:
1. Left-click the link where the destination cross section is located,
2. Left-click the destination cross section:
- The selected destination cross section is displayed in light green,
- the route is displayed as a yellow band.
Since VISSIM 4.30-03, a route of the type static, partial route or closure
can be selected without selection of the routing decision cross-section:
left-click the destination link first and the destination cross-section then.
