11.12 Node Evaluation
Node Evaluation
Node Evaluation is a way of collecting data for a user-defined area within a
VISSIM network. The evaluations are automatically collected using the node
boundaries as the evaluation segment definitions. The Node Evaluation is
designed especially for gathering intersection-specific data without the need
to manually define all the data collection cross-sections.
Definition
For each junction to be evaluated, a node polygon needs to be drawn.

[VEHICLES], once the option Node is ticked. The window allows for definition of
data to be evaluated by a node evaluation.
