4.2.2.3 User-Definable Dynamic Colors
The colors of vehicles or pedestians are determined by the selected
parameter.
For display of user-defined dynamic colors the automatic dynamic color
mode has to be switched off.
For vehicles, the configuration is done
via VIEW - OPTIONS - [VEHICLES] -
CONFIGURATION for Individual vehicles.
● Parameter: The desired parameter
to be displayed with the color
code. ‘None’ switches off the user
definable dynamic colors. The
currently active unit is displayed
underneath.
● Classes: For each user-defined
range of values of the selected
parameter a Color is to be defined.
The Color is selected by clicking
the colored box adjacent to the
value field. Up to 10 classes are
available. The upper boundary is
included in the respective class. If
a class value is deleted, the
following values will be shifted to
fill the gap.
● DEFAULT CLASSES resets all values
and colors to the defaults.
4.2.3 2D Display of Aggregated Values for Vehicles (LOS)
As an alternative to the display of individual vehicles or pedestrians, VISSIM
can also display certain parameters as aggregated values using a color
code.
This is extremely helpful when trying to locate hot spots in a big network.
Basically, the options for visualization of aggregated values of the simulated
traffic are the same for vehicles on links and pedestrians on areas, cf.
section 7.3.3.
This section describes the display of aggregated values for vehicle traffic in
the link network. Click VIEW - OPTIONS... - [VEHICLES] and set the options.
