11 Evaluation Types for Simulations of Vehicles
Delay
● Distance: Total distance for all vehicle types and for all defined
simulation runs.
● Delay: Total delay for all vehicle types and for all defined simulation
runs.
● Avg speed: Average speed of vehicles passing the travel time
measurement, based on shortest path and average speed.
● Avg delay: Average delay per vehicle (in seconds), cf. definition in
section 11.12.
● Avg number of stops: Average number of stops per vehicle (in
seconds).
● Avg stop delay: Average standstill time per vehicle (in seconds).
For a network evaluation you may not chose a special selection. This report
always regards the entire network.
● Intersection: Node number or name.
● Approach: The direction of the approach of vehicles to the intersection
as defined by node evaluation.
● Movement: The turning movement within the intersection.
● Delay: The average delay of all vehicles as defined in section 11.12
● Volume: The number of vehicles recorded through the node as defined
in 11.12
● LOS: Level of Service of the intersection based on the Highway
Capacity Manual (HCM) LOS categorization for signalized intersections
(Chapter 16). The level of service is based on the signalized intersection
definition regardless of the type of intersection. Note that
VISSIM provides total delay as specified by the user for each node
evaluation, while the HCM LOS designations are based on control
delay estimated on 15 minute intervals. Refer to Section 10.2 and
FHWA Publication No. FHWA-HRT-04-040 for more discussion on the
comparison of simulation delay results to the HCM methodology. The
table below lists the average delay per vehicle in seconds:
A ≤ 10
B > 10 - 20
C > 20 - 35
D > 35 - 55
E > 55 - 80
