Vehicle network performance : Displaying network performance results (vehicles) in result lists

You can show vehicle specific attributes of the entire network compiled in lists.

In microscopic simulation, the network performance is updated with every time step. In mesoscopic simulation, the network performance is updated at the end of the evaluation interval.

Via the COM Interface, you can show and access user-defined attributes in the Network Performance (Vehicles) Results list. User-defined formula attributes are shown, if you use the subattribute Simulation run. User-defined attributes are saved when you save the network file.

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 save the following data and data formats:

Result of vehicle network performance

All attributes take into account the vehicles which have already left the network or reached their destination parking lot and the vehicles that are still in the network at the end of the evaluation interval.

The total demand of the input flows and origin-destination matrices during the simulation time results from:

Total = Vehicles In Network + vehicles which have left + vehicles which could not be used (immediately)

If you calculate and display emissions based on emission classes, an Internet connection is required to transfer the data at the end of the simulation run (Calculate accurate emissions with Bosch Cloud Service).

The results list Vehicle network performance results contains the following attributes. Emissions are specified in grams. The result attributes on emissions and delay do not take into account reversing vehicles.

Further result attributes of result list Vehicle network evaluation results:

Result attribute Long name

Short name

Description

Vehicles (active)

VehAct

Total number of vehicles driving forward or reversing in the network at the end of the simulation.

Vehicles arrived VehArr (Vehicles (arrived)) and vehicles not being used are not included in the attribute Vehicles (active).

Mesoscopic simulation does not include vehicles on zone connector edges.

Vehicles (arrived)

VehArr

Vehicles arrived: Total number of vehicles driving forward or reversing which have already reached their destination and have left the network before the end of the simulation. In dynamic assignment and mesoscopic simulation, this also includes vehicles that have reached their destination parking lot.

Speed (average)

SpeedAvg

Average speed [km/h] or [mph]

Total distance DistTot / Total travel time TravTmTot

Weighted average of speed of all vehicles. The weight is the respective travel time of the vehicles. This means that vehicles that have only a short travel time have less influence on the value of this result attribute than vehicles that have been in the Vissim network for a long time.

Stops (total)

StopsTot

Total number of stops of all vehicles that are in the network or have already arrived. This includes stopping at the turning point after backing out of the parking space before the vehicle continues driving forward.

The following stops are not included in the attribute Stops (total):

  • Scheduled stop times of buses and trains at public transport stops
  • Parking times in parking lots

The attribute does not contain any values in mesoscopic simulation.

A stop is counted if the speed of the vehicle at the end of the previous time step was greater than 0 and is 0 at the end of the current time step.

Stops (average)

StopsAvg

Average number of stops per vehicle:

Total number of stops / (Number of veh in network + number of veh that have arrived)

The attribute does not contain any values in mesoscopic simulation.

Fuel consumption

FuelConsumption

Fuel consumption [grams]

Demand (latent)

DemLatent

Number of vehicles from meso origin connector edges, vehicle inputs and parking lots that could not be used until the end of the simulation.

These vehicles are not added to the result attribute VehAct (Vehicles (active)).

Travel time (total)

TravTmTot

Total travel time of vehicles traveling forward or backward within the network or that have already left the network.

Simulation run

SimRun

Number of simulation run

Delay (total)

DelayTot

Total delay: Total delay of all vehicles in the network or of those that have already exited it.

The delay of a vehicle in a time step is the part of the time step that must also be used because the actual speed is less than the desired speed.

For the calculation, the quotient is obtained by subtracting the actual distance traveled in this time step and desired speed from the duration of the time step.

Delay, for instance, includes stop times at stop signs.

The following times are not included in the attribute Delay (total):

  • Scheduled stop times of buses and trains at public transport stops
  • Passenger service times
  • Parking times in parking lots

Delay (latent)

DelayLatent

Total delay of vehicles that could not be used (immediately).

Total waiting time of vehicles from input flows and parking lots that were not used at their actual start time in the network. This value may also include the waiting time of vehicles that enter the network before the end of the simulation.

The Delay (latent) is recorded for the defined evaluation intervals.

Delay (average)

DelayAvg

Average delay per vehicle:

Total delay / (Number of veh in the network + number of veh that have arrived)

Delay stopped (total)

DelayStopTot

Total standstill time of all vehicles that are in the network or have already arrived.

Standstill time = time in which the vehicle is stationary (speed = 0)

The following times are not included in the attribute Delay stopped (total):

  • Scheduled stop times of buses and trains at public transport stops
  • Parking times, regardless of parking lot type

The attribute does not contain any values in mesoscopic simulation.

Delay stopped (average)

DelayStopAvg

Average standstill time per vehicle:

Total standstill time / (Number of veh in network + number of vehicles that have arrived)

The attribute does not contain any values in mesoscopic simulation.

Distance (total)

Path
disTot

Total distance of vehicles traveling forward or backward within the network and of vehicles that have already left the network. Forward and backward driven distance add up.
