VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

Delay Times
● Time: Enter the start time and end time and the time interval of the
evaluation (in simulation seconds).
● NEW creates a new delay time measurement,
● EDIT allows for editing existing delay time
measurements.
- Each delay segment is to be based on
one or more travel time measurements;
use CTRL to select multiple
travel time sections for this measurement.
- For the selected delay segment,
option active has to be (un)checked.
● DELETE removes the selected delay time measurement from the list.
Belonging travel time sections are not deleted.
● Output defines the data output format:
- Compiled Data generates a text file (*.VLZ) according to the times
and numbers as defined in this window.
- Raw Data generates a text file (*.VLR) where every completed
delay 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 must not be used for any other VISSIM
database evaluations. In order to use the database output the
database connection needs to be configured (cf. section 10.1.3).
Results
This is the format of a compiled output text file (*.VLZ):
► 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 delay segments that have been evaluated
► Table with the delay data measured for each section and time interval.
It contains the following information:
- Delay: Average total delay per vehicle (in seconds). The total delay is
computed for every vehicle completing the travel time section by
subtracting the theoretical (ideal) travel time from the real travel time.
The theoretical travel time is the time that would be reached if there
were no other vehicles and no signal controls or other stops in the
network (reduced speed areas are taken into account).
