Network settings for the driving simulator

Notes:

You must have a license for the add-on module.
Verify that the connection to the driving simulator via the interface is configured correctly.
By default, information for developers in English is saved to the installation directory of your Vissim installation ..\API\DrivingSimulator_DLL\doc: PTV Vissim API - Driving Simulator Interface.pdf
You can find sample files by default in the installation directory of your Vissiminstallation: ..\API\DrivingSimulator_DLL\example\DrivingSimulatorTextClient

1. From the Base Data menu, choose > Network Settings.

2. Select the Driving simulator tab.

3. Make the desired changes:

Element	Description
Driving simulator active	Select this option to activate the interface to your external driving simulator. Up to 1000 vehicles and 1000 pedestrians can be added to the simulation using a driving simulator. You must select a vehicle type if you wish to start a simulation. The following vehicle attributes control whether the vehicle is controlled via the driving simulator or solely by Vissim: ControlledByVissim is deselected: The vehicle is controlled via the driving simulator in Vissim. ControlledByVissim is selected: The vehicle drives on the route specified in the Route attribute if the route leads via the lane it is driving on. , from the routing decision onwards based on the attribute RoutingDecision. When the ControlledByVissim attribute is deactivated again for the vehicle, the vehicle is again controlled by the driving simulator. Route: Vehicle route used by the vehicle as soon as ControlledByVissim is selected. RoutingDecision: Vehicle routing decision from which the vehicle uses the Vissim vehicle route
Vehicle type	Vehicle type which is not controlled by Vissim during the simulation, but by your external driving simulator.
Pedestrian type	Pedestrian type which is not controlled by Vissim during the simulation, but by your external driving simulator.

Driving simulator active

Select this option to activate the interface to your external driving simulator. Up to 1000 vehicles and 1000 pedestrians can be added to the simulation using a driving simulator. You must select a vehicle type if you wish to start a simulation.

The following vehicle attributes control whether the vehicle is controlled via the driving simulator or solely by Vissim:

ControlledByVissim is deselected: The vehicle is controlled via the driving simulator in Vissim.
ControlledByVissim is selected: The vehicle drives on the route specified in the Route attribute if the route leads via the lane it is driving on. , from the routing decision onwards based on the attribute RoutingDecision. When the ControlledByVissim attribute is deactivated again for the vehicle, the vehicle is again controlled by the driving simulator.
Route: Vehicle route used by the vehicle as soon as ControlledByVissim is selected.
RoutingDecision: Vehicle routing decision from which the vehicle uses the Vissim vehicle route

Vehicle type

Vehicle type which is not controlled by Vissim during the simulation, but by your external driving simulator.

Pedestrian type

Pedestrian type which is not controlled by Vissim during the simulation, but by your external driving simulator.
