11 Evaluation Types for Simulations of Vehicles
This chapter provides all information on how to define and configure the
individual evaluation types and what the results look like. In order to generate
output data, the corresponding option needs to be enabled (see section
10.1).
The output can be produced in the following form:
► online window representation (e.g. signal time table)
► a text file can be written
► a database table can be saved
Some evaluation types support two or even all options.
As the text files use semicolons as delimiters they can easily be imported in
spreadsheet applications (like Microsoft Excel) in order to use them for
further calculations or graphical representation.
Generally, current length/speed/acceleration units settings (VIEW - OPTIONS
- [LANGUAGE & UNITS]) are regarded for evaluation data output.
Only parameters having the unit explicitly in the name do not regard these
settings.
Some of the evaluations allow for output of both, raw data and compiled
data.
For raw data output, usually only metric units are used.
The user-defined configuration is not regarded for raw data output.
Evaluations of the simulation of pedestrian flows (Travel Times, Pedestrian
Record, Area Evaluations and Queues) are described in section 7.2.
