Route Search and Route Choice<br />

it is generally good to find as many routes as possible. If a route proves bad<br />

during the following iterations it may be discarded (depending on the<br />

Extended path settings) and thus does not harm.<br />

Search for alternative paths<br />

Optionally, an additional search for alternative paths can be performed using<br />

stochastic modification of edge evaluations:<br />

Multiple runs of the shortest path algorithm with (slightly) modified edge<br />

evaluation parameters will increase the chance to find more alternative<br />

routes, which should be used though having higher total cost.<br />

This option can be activated in two ways: Activate<br />

► ALTERNATIVE PATH SEARCH... separately for each OD pair of zones via EDIT<br />

– AUTO ROUTING SELECTION in the Paths window, cf. section 12.6.4; or<br />

► option Stochastic edge penalization for Alternative path search via<br />

EXTENDED for option Search new paths in the Dynamic Assignment<br />

window (via TRAFFIC – DYNAMIC ASSIGNMENT), cf. section 12.8.4.<br />

12.6.4 Route Visualization<br />

The routes found during the<br />

iterations of the Dynamic<br />

Assignment can be visualized<br />

in the network editor by EDIT –<br />

AUTO ROUTING SELECTION<br />

(while the Parking Lots<br />

mode is active).<br />
