VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

Test of Signal Control without Traffic Simulation
1. Create a macro data
file through interactive
placement of
detector calls as
outlined above.
2. Create similar test
macros using the
macro editor (TEST –
MACRO – EDIT). The
Macro Editor window
appears.
3. Delete existing actuations
(Highlight the
appropriate line and
press DELETE).
4. Insert an additional
actuation:
Select a signal controller (SC), detector number (Det.), time interval
(from, until resp. in) and type (Single, Continuous, Repeating) of the
actuation. Since single actuations only last one second, only one time is
to be defined. Pressing INSERT: inserts the new actuation before the
currently highlighted detector call. VISSIM will not automatically sort the
detector call list.
5. For editing previously defined actuations (e.g. change time interval),
delete the existing actuation and create a new actuation.
6. The test macro can be saved with a different name using the SAVE AS
command.
7. If PT call points are supported by the selected control strategy, call
telegrams can also be included in the macro as special actuations for
detector type PT Tel.
Application
For each test run, please follow the steps outlined below:
1. Macro file recording (and editing, if applicable).
2. Adjust control logic parameters to the particular test scenario.
3. Enable evaluation(s), if applicable.
4. Start test run via TEST – MACRO – RUN...
5. Save evaluations, if applicable.
The files generated during test runs are not named automatically according
to test number or similar. Be careful when specifying file names.
