Functional differences to microscopic simulation

The following functions are available in microscopic simulation. These functions cannot be used in mesoscopic simulation:

  • Vehicle inputs and static routing
  • Platooning
  • Pedestrians
  • Cyclists
  • Defining lane-based link behavior type
  • In dynamic assignment:
  • Parking lots of the type Real parking spaces as origin and destination of demand
  • Route guidance
  • Path selection type Decide repeatedly
  • For signal control and intersection control:
  • Priority rules
  • Stop signs
  • For public transport:
  • Partial PT routes
  • PT telegrams
  • PT vehicles only drive up to the last PT stop of your PT line and not to the end of the PT line, if the latter continues on a link.
  • Public transport lines without PT stop
  • Block control
  • For evaluations:
  • Data collection points
  • Travel time measurements can be performed in sections selected for microscopic simulation (Selecting sections for hybrid simulation)
  • Queue counters

Should your use cases require any of the functions listed, simulate the relevant parts of the network microscopically (Using hybrid simulation).

Note: If you want to run a hybrid simulation, please also read the section Using hybrid simulation (Using hybrid simulation).
