Example of modeling lateral behavior
The example takes into account the following guidelines:
- Bikes and cars travel on the same one-lane link.
- Bikes must drive on the right side.
- Bikes may be overtaken by cars only on the left.
- Bikes may overtake cars only on the right.
- Bikes may overtake other bikes only on the left.
For this, you define three driving behavior parameter sets:
Defining the driving behavior parameter set Urban lateral behavior
1. From the Base Data menu, choose Driving Behaviors.
The Driving Behaviors list opens. Some driving behavior parameter sets can be predefined.
2. Right-click Urban (motorized).
3. From the shortcut menu, choose Duplicate.
4. For the new driving behavior parameter set, in the Name box, enter: Urban lateral behavior
5. Right-click the entry.
6. From the shortcut menu, choose Edit.
The Driving Behavior Parameter Set window opens.
7. Make the desired changes:

Section Exceptions for overtaking vehicles of the following vehicle classes: 1. From the shortcut menu, choose Add. A new row is inserted. 2. Select the vehicle class Bike. 3. Select the option OvtL. |
Defining the driving behavior parameter set Urban Bike
1. In the Driving behavior list, right-click Cycle-Track (free overtaking).
2. From the shortcut menu, choose Duplicate.
3. For the new driving behavior parameter set, in the Name box, enter: Urban Bike
4. Right-click the entry.
5. From the shortcut menu, choose Edit.
The Driving Behavior Parameter Set window opens.
6. Make the desired changes:

Desired position at free flow:Right Section Default behavior when overtaking vehicles on the same lane or on adjacent lanes: 1. Under Overtake on same lane, deactivate the options On left and On right. 2. From the shortcut menu, choose Add. A new row is inserted. 3. Select the vehicle class Car. 4. Select the attribute OvtR. 5. Right-click the entry. 6. From the shortcut menu, choose Add. A new row is inserted. 7. Select the vehicle class Bike. 8. Select the attribute OvtL. 9. In the LatDistStand section, select: 0.3 m |
Defining the link behavior type Urban lateral behavior Bike
1. Select from the menu Base Data > Link Behavior Types.
The list Link Behavior Types opens. Some link behavior types can be predefined.
2. In the list, on the toolbar, click the Add button .
A new row with default data is inserted.
3. For the new link behavior type, in the Name column, enter: Urban lateral behavior Bike.
4. In the column DrivBehavDef, select the driving behavior parameter set Urban Bike.
5. Assign the respective lanes of links in the Link behavior type attribute (LinkBehavType) to the new link behavior type Urban lateral behavior bike.
