VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

The Pedestrians Editor (Add-on)
● Data pair: For each row and time interval, a data pair may be defined
(several compositions can be allocated to a walkable space):
- Upper line: Input volume (pedestrians/h)
- Lower line: Composition of pedestrians
The text color indicates the validity of the data pair:
- Black: For this interval only
- Gray: For a period of combined intervals (Continued Input). In that
case, only the master cell (black) can be edited and affects
automatically all subsequent continued cells.
The background color indicates the type of the flow volume:
- White: stochastic values or
- Yellow: exact values.
When EXACT VOLUME is enabled VISSIM generates exactly the edited
number of pedestrians to enter the network as opposed to a distribution.
The configuration of the data section can be changed via the context menu.
Select one or multiple cells and call:
● EXACT VOLUME: Volume values are regarded as exact volumes, if this
option is checked. The cells are highlighted in yellow.
● STOCHASTIC VOLUME: Volume values are regarded as stochastic volumes,
if this option is checked. The cells are not highlighted.
● CONTINUED INPUT: Select all cells to be combined (except the master cell)
and check this option to define a combined flow: The master cell is the
one previous to the selected cells; the master cell entry spans over the
selected sequence of time intervals.
- The master cell remains editable, indicated by black text entries.
Changes to the master cell entry are copied to all subsequent cells.
- Grey text entries indicate combined cells (Read-only).
Uncheck this option to separate selected combined cells.
● VIEW VOLUMES: Toggles display of the volume values (upper line per time
interval) on and off.
● VIEW COMPOSITIONS: Toggles display of the selected compositions (lower
line per time interval) on and off.
● ZOOM: The input´s position in the network is placed in the middle of the
VISSIM window on screen.
