LENZ ( Link ID )—Zone length. LENZ returns the length of each zone of the<br />

specified Link ID.<br />

LNKNUM ( Beginning Intersection ID, Ending Intersection ID )—Connecting link.<br />

LNKNUM returns the link number that connects Beginning Intersection ID with<br />

Ending Intersection ID.<br />

LTYP ( Link ID )—Link type. LTYP returns a value of 1 if Link ID is unidirectional,<br />

2 if it is bi-directional, and 3 if it is a spur.<br />

LX ( Intersection ID )—Intersection length. LX returns the length of the specified<br />

Intersection ID.<br />

MZ ( Link ID )—Number of zones. MZ returns the number of zones defined for the<br />

specified Link ID. (Also see LENZ.)<br />

NDX ( Link ID )—Destination intersection. NDX returns the destination intersection<br />

of travel of transporters on the specified Link ID; if the link is unoccupied, NDX<br />

returns a 0. If there are vehicles on the link, the ending intersection number is<br />

returned if travel is in the forward direction (always the case for uni-directional<br />

links). The beginning intersection is returned if travel is backward on a bi-directional<br />

link or a spur.<br />

NEXTX ( Network ID, Beginning Intersection ID, Destination Intersection ID )—Next<br />

travel intersection. NEXTX returns the next intersection of travel in the specified<br />

Network ID from the Beginning Intersection ID to the Destination Intersection ID. If<br />

NEXTX returns a value equal to the Destination Intersection, the two intersections<br />

are directly connected by a link.<br />

NL ( Link ID )—Number of occupied zones in link. NL returns the number of zones<br />

occupied by transporters in the specified Link ID. The value of NL does not include<br />

reserved zones (that is, using a Capture module).<br />

NX ( Intersection ID )—Intersection status. NX returns a value of 0 if the intersection<br />

is unoccupied, 1 if it is occupied, or -1 if it is reserved (that is, using a Capture<br />

module).<br />

NXB ( Link ID )—Beginning intersection. NXB returns the beginning intersection<br />

number of the specified Link ID.<br />

NXE ( Link ID )—Ending intersection. NXE returns the ending intersection number<br />

of the specified Link ID.<br />

NZ ( Link ID, Zone Number )—Zone status. NZ returns the status of the specified<br />

Zone Number in Link ID. A value of 0 is returned if the zone is unoccupied, 1 if it is<br />

occupied, or -1 if it is reserved (that is, using a Capture module).<br />
