Routes
window
For a new routing decision on the selected link, the following properties
have to be set, cf. section 6.4.4.1:
● No.: Unique identification of the routing decision
● Name: Label or comment
● At: Position on the link/connector.
● Type: Select the appropriate option.
(Static, Partial, Parking, Dynamic, Closures; Managed Lanes)
The type is not subject to subsequent changes.
● Show only routes over link: If this option has been checked, you can
select the link that serves as a route filter for route list display.
[STATIC] For a static routing decision, define in the Routes window:
● Vehicle Class(es): From a drowp-down list, select the vehicle classes to
be affected by this routing decision (PT routes are defined separately in
the PT Lines mode, cf. section 6.5). For multi-selection, press CTRL
while clicking the left mouse button.
● Show Label: When showing labels (names) of all routing decisions
(cf. VIEW - NETWORK ELEMENTS...) this option allows to individually switch
off the label of that routing decision.
Editable properties of a static route:
● Route no.: Unique identification of the route.
● Dest. Link: Unique identification of the destination link.
● At: Link/connector coordinate.
● The relative flow value by route and time interval.
Relative Flows: Instead of absolute vehicle flows VISSIM uses relative
flows to determine the proportions among all route destinations of one
routing decision. This characteristic allows that either real flow volumes or
percentages can be entered. Internally VISSIM adds up all these relative
flows and computes the absolute percentage for each flow automatically.
