11 Evaluation Types for Simulations of Vehicles
Configuration
In order to get the desired output format additional information is needed.
This is to be provided within the Travel Time Measurement Configuration
window which can be accessed by pressing the CONFIGURATION button in
EVALUATION – FILES… once the option Travel Time is ticked. The following
configuration data can be defined:
● Active Travel Times: Only data for
the selected travel time sections
will be collected.
● Time: The starting and finishing
time and the time interval of the
evaluation (defined as simulation
seconds).
● Aggregation method: Select here
whether a vehicle should be
counted to the evaluation interval
where it crossed the start section or
the destination section.
● Output: Select compiled or raw
data (ASCII format or database):
- Compiled Data generates a
file (*.RSZ) according to the
times, vehicle classes etc. as
defined in this window.
- Raw Data generates a file (*.RSR) where simply every completed
travel time measurement event will be logged in chronological order.
- Database: When active, evaluation output is directed to a
database to the specified Table Name (rather than to an ASCII text
file). The table name may not be used for any other VISSIM
database evaluation. In order to use the database output the
database connection needs to be configured (cf. section 10.1.3).

► File title
► Path and name of the input file (File)
► Simulation comment (Comment)
► Date and time of the evaluation (Date)
► Version no. with Service pack no. and Build no. (VISSIM)
► List of all travel time sections that have been evaluated, including the
