VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

Special Evaluations (Discharge rate evaluation)
- The 2 nd column is the elapsed time between the start of the green
time and the arrival of the first vehicle at the data collection point.
- The 3 rd column is the time gap between both the front ends of vehicle
#1 (vehicle at 1 st position in the queue) and vehicle #2. Thus it is the
time vehicle #2 needs to clear its queue position which is the
Discharge Rate of vehicle #2.
- The following columns contain all subsequent Discharge Rates
according to the vehicle positions.
- Numbers in parenthesis show the number of vehicles passed during
that green time and their average Discharge Rate (both not including
the Discharge Rate of vehicle #1 because that time depends on the
location of the data collection point).
- Values after parenthesis are the Discharge Rates of vehicles
crossing the stop line after the green time (during amber or even
red).
- The 4 th line from the bottom contains the index of the vehicle’s
position in the queue for each signal cycle.
- The 3 rd line from the bottom contains the average Discharge Rates
for the corresponding vehicle position.
- The 2 nd line from the bottom contains the number of all vehicles
measured for that position (higher indices might have smaller
numbers if the flow is not saturated at all times).
- The bottom line shows the total number of vehicles and total
Discharge Rate for the whole evaluation period.
