Selecting sections for hybrid simulation

If during hybrid simulation of your Vissim network, you want to microscopically simulate parts of the network, you must define sections for these parts (Modeling sections). The desired sections must then be selected for mesoscopic simulation.

1.  From the Simulation menu, choose > Parameters.

The Simulation parameters window opens.

2.  Select the Meso tab.

3.  Select the Meso simulation method.

In the Sections for microscopic simulation area, all sections are displayed. Vissim only performs microscopic simulation for the sections selected.

4.  Hold down the Ctrl key and click the desired sections.

When you start the simulation, the desired sections of the Vissim network are microscopically simulated. Outside of these sections, the Vissim network is mesoscopically simulated, but vehicles are not shown. For the selected sections, Vissim chooses the attribute Meso - use as section for microsimulation (MesoUseForMicrosim).
