Defining acceleration and deceleration functions

You can insert, select and edit acceleration and deceleration functions.

1.  Select from the menu Base Data > Functions.

2.  Select the desired entry:

The list of defined objects for the base data type opens.

By default, you can edit the list (Using lists).

3.  In the list, on the toolbar, click the Add button .

The window for the chosen function opens.

4.  Make the desired changes:

Element Description
Horizontal abscissa Speed
Vertical ordinate Acceleration or deceleration value
Three curves

describe the stochastic distribution

  • Median (red disks)
  • Two boundary curves define the bandwidth (green disks)

Vissim uses the units which are selected by default (Selecting network settings for units).

5.  Make the desired changes:

Element Description
Name Name of function
km/h Max. speed of desired speed range
m/s2
  • top box: maximum acceleration
  • bottom box: minimum acceleration
Adjust Show curve progression for entire value range

6.  You can change the settings if you wish.

Element Description
Insert intermediate point Right-click on the desired position
Move intermediate point Click intermediate point and drag with the mouse. Progression of the three curves changes in the value range between the limiting intermediate points.
Delete intermediate point Click the intermediate point and move it to the adjacent start or end point.

7.  Confirm with OK.

You can show the attributes of the acceleration and deceleration functions in the respective attributes list (Attributes of acceleration and deceleration functions).
