13 <strong>VISSIM</strong> Programming Interfaces (API)<br />

13.1 COM Interface<br />

Occasionally projects will require extensive pre- or post-processing,<br />

numerous scenarios to be investigated or the application of customized<br />

control algorithms.<br />

For these cases <strong>VISSIM</strong> can be run from within other applications serving as<br />

a toolbox for transportation planning algorithms. Access to model data and<br />

simulations is provided through a COM interface, which allows <strong>VISSIM</strong> to<br />

work as an Automation Server and to export the objects, methods and<br />

properties.<br />

The <strong>VISSIM</strong> COM interface supports Microsoft Automation, so you can use<br />

any of the RAD (Rapid Application Development) tools ranging from scripting<br />

languages like Visual Basic Script or Java Script to programming<br />

environments like Visual C++ or Visual J++, cf. section 3.5.<br />

Scripts can also be started from within <strong>VISSIM</strong> (internal scripting, cf. section<br />

3.5.1).<br />
