6 The Traffic Network routing decision!) are affected by the second direction decision and thus the percentage of left-turn vehicles will be reduced by 20%. A direction decision becomes effective the time step after the vehicle has passed the decision point; thus the distance between decision point and the next following connector should be sufficient. The minimum distance depends on the speed of the fastest vehicles. If the fastest vehicle is traveling with a speed of 20 meters per second, the minimum distance between direction decision point and connector is 20 meters if the model is running at one time step per simulation second. On a multiple lane section vehicles with an assigned direction decision ‘left’ will use the leftmost lane while vehicles with an assigned direction decision ‘right’ will move to the far right lane A direction decision can affect all vehicles that have not been assigned to a route. If a vehicle with an assigned direction decision passes another direction decision point and gets a new direction decision assigned to, then the new decision overwrites the previous one (see example above). A vehicle’s direction decision is only reset when passing a connector with the appropriate direction setting. Otherwise it keeps the direction decision until it leaves the network, gets a new direction assignment or passes a direction decision with the ‘none’ criteria. Setting the desired direction to “none” resets the direction decision for vehicles affected by that decision point. 6.4.7 Routing Decisions versus Direction Decisions Routes do have several advantages compared to direction decisions. Thus it is recommended always to use routing decisions. ► While direction decisions only affect a single lane, routes capture traffic on all lanes, thus reducing coding effort. ► Routes do not require the cumbersome calculation of turning percentages when the traffic flow is distributed between more than two directions. ► Modeling traffic flow with routing decisions guaranties an accurate replication of merge situations. In contrast to turning decisions, routing decisions force vehicles to follow predefined link sequences, even if that means waiting at a connector for a gap to merge. Vehicles that have been assigned a direction decision would just continue if they cannot find a gap to merge, requiring the use of special “tricks” for realistic modeling. ► Routes allow for accurate modeling of traffic flow through multiple intersections and turning decisions. This is in contrast to modeling with turning decisions where the origin of vehicles is forgotten after each 242 VISSIM 5.30-05 © PTV AG 2011
Automobile Traffic turning movement. As a consequence, modeling with routing decisions is required, for example, when simulating a double-diamond freeway interchange where weaving between multiple traffic streams occurs between the two signalized intersections. ► The modeling of roundabouts also requires routing decisions. With direction decisions there always would be some vehicles circulating within the roundabout. User Manual © PTV AG 2011 243
