VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

11 Evaluation Types for Simulations of Vehicles
● Measurem.# (Pts.): Shows
all defined data collection
measurements and the
collection points they are
composed of.
The list can be edited by
using the NEW, EDIT and
DELETE buttons. Click NEW
to create a new data
collection and use EDIT for
changes to existing ones.
While editing a measurement,
use CTRL to select
multiple travel time sections
for this measurement.
Alternatively, either AUTO (ALL) or AUTO (GROUPS) may be used to define data
collection measurements:
● AUTO (ALL) generates one measurement for each individual data
collection point (even if it is included in another data collection
measurement already).
● AUTO (GROUPS) automatically combines data collection points which are
situated within 3m on the same link/connector into one data collection
measurement. This option is useful when data on multi-lane links should
be collected for the complete link and not for individual lanes.
If there are no multi-lane links contained in the network, the result is
identical to that of AUTO (ALL).
● Time: The starting and finishing time and the time interval of the
evaluation (defined as simulation seconds).
● Output defines the output format of the text file:
- Compiled Data generates a file (*.MES) according to the times and
numbers as defined in this window and to the CONFIGURATION
parameter settings,
- Raw Data generates a file (*.MER) where simply every data
collection event will be logged in chronological order (all parameters).
The file header of this output file also contains the srat time of the
simulation, if the start date has been set in the simulation parameters.
● CONFIGURATION... opens the Data Collection - Configuration window that
allows to select the data and output format of the data collection
measurements. These settings are only regarded for compiled data.
