Evaluating vehicle travel time measurements

A vehicle travel time measurement consists of a From Section and a To Section. The mean travel time from traversing the From Section up to traversing the To Section, including the waiting time and/or holding time, is calculated as well as the distance traveled between the start section and destination section.

By default, the data for all vehicle classes is entered together. You can also show the data for certain vehicle classes separately in the evaluation (Configuring evaluations of the result attributes for lists).

You can also evaluate delays with travel time measurements (Showing delay measurements in lists).

Note: Vehicle travel time measurements must be defined in the network (Defining vehicle travel time measurement).

You can save the following data and data formats:

Output	ASCII file	MDB table	Attribute file from attribute list
Aggregated data	-	-
Raw data	*.rsr		-

• Show result attributes in attribute lists (Displaying result attributes in attribute lists)
• Show result attributes in result lists (Showing result attributes in result lists)
• Save result attributes to files or databases (Configuring evaluations for direct output)

Result of evaluation of travel time measurements

The results list Vehicle Travel Time Results contains the following attributes:

Result attribute Long name	Short name	Description
Vehicles	Vehs	Number of vehicles recorded
Vehicle travel time measurement	VehTravTmMeas	Name of vehicle travel time measurement
Travel time	TravTm	Average travel time [s] of vehicles in the network
Simulation run	SimRun	Number of simulation run
Distance traveled	Dist	Average distance traveled [m] between the start section and destination section of travel time measurement. If there is only one path leading from the start section to the destination section, its value corresponds to attribute Distance value of travel time measurement (Attributes of vehicle travel time measurement).
Time interval	TimeInt	Duration of the evaluation intervals in which the data is aggregated

The travel time file *.rsr contains the following data:

Element	Description
File title	Name of evaluation
File	Path and name of network file
Comment	Optional comment from the simulation parameters
Date	Time of evaluation
Vissim	Version number, service pack number, build number
Data block	One row for each travel time measurement: Time: simulation second No: Travel time measurement number Veh: number of vehicle VehType: number of vehicle type TravTm: travel time in [s] Dist: distance in [m] Delay: delay time in [s], difference to optimal (ideal, theoretical) travel time
