VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

11 Evaluation Types for Simulations of Vehicles
The filter allows for evaluation of
selected paths only and for a userdefined
time interval (from/until).
It can be used either with Parking Lots
or Zones.
Whenever one of the two options is
selected the settings of the nonselected
option are irrelevant.
Path evaluation is done only for the
selected relations.
The filter configuration is saved to a file
with extension *.WGF.

A Path evaluation file (*.WGA) contains the following information:
► 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 selected parameters with brief description
► Data block with output data per path
Travel time edge: Sum of travel times of edges of the path between two
parking lots. The travel time of an edge sums up from the travel times of all
vehicles traversing this edge except input vehicles or public transport
vehicles. Thus vehicles passing an edge can also be those with different
origin or destination parking lots. Vehicles which have not yet finished their
ride through the network are regarded for only those edges they already
have traversed.
Travel time path: Travel time for relations from–to parking lots. The
measurement can only include vehicles which have reached their
destination parking lot.
For output of travel times, three variants are provided for either type:
► Expected: Travel time before simulation run.
► Determined: Travel time of last run.
► Smoothed: Travel time after averaging according to the settings in the
Edge Cost Values window. Access to this window is provided via menu
TRAFFIC - DYNAMIC ASSIGNMENT which calls the Dynamic Assignment
window. Here, click the EXTENDED button next to option Store costs.
