VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

Properties & Options
● No.: A unique number to
reference this travel time
section. It is recommended
to use a numbering scheme
that is implemented to the
whole VISSIM network in
order to easily reference
the evaluations.
● Name: Label or comment of
the travel time segment.
● From Section / To Section:
Exact location of the travel
time segment.
● Vehicle Classes: Only
vehicles of the selected
class(es) will be measured.
Travel Times
● Distance between the start and end cross section as determined by the
shortest route.
Please make sure, that the resulting distance is sufficient when placing the
travel time measurement cross-sections. Please note: Vehicles traversing
both, start and end cross-section within a single time step, are not regarded
for travel time measurements.
If this field is blank, VISSIM could not determine a continuous link
sequence between both cross sections. The cause may be that a
connector is missing or that one of the cross sections was placed on the
wrong link (e.g. opposite direction).
If Dynamic Assignment (optional module) is activated, the shortest distance
(in contrast to the distance with the minimum no. of links) will be used as
the distance. However, it can only be computed if both travel time crosssections
are located either between two nodes or within a node.
● Visible (Screen): If active, the travel time cross sections are visible
during the simulation (if travel times have been enabled in the global
display settings).
● Label: If active, the label of the travel time section (as enabled in the
global display settings) is shown.
● Write (to File): If active, the travel time values for this section will
appear in the output file.
● Smooth. Factor (applies only to the window representation of the travel
times, not to the file): Exponential factor as how a new travel time will be
weighted before added to the existing average travel time.
