Selecting attributes for scenario comparison

For network objects that exist in the current basic scenario as well as in comparison scenarios you can: a) in the Attribute selection window, select attributes of the network objects b) in the attribute lists of the network objects of the current basic scenario, show and easily compare them.

You have the following options to select subattributes:

  • select and apply individual subattributes from one or multiple scenarios
  • Selecting individual subattributes from one or multiple scenarios and applying them from other scenario comparisons

Select individual subattributes and apply them in the attributes list

1.  Open the base scenario you want to compare with another scenario (Opening and editing scenarios in the network editor).

2.  For the base scenario opened, select the desired comparison scenarios (Selecting scenarios in the project structure for comparison).

3.  Open the attribute list of the network object type whose attributes you want to compare (Opening lists).

4.  In the attribute list, click the Attribute selection button .

The <Network object type>: Select Attributes window opens. In the section on the left, the attributes of the network object type are displayed. The scenarios are marked with the symbol and sorted by their number.

5.  In the section on the left, in front of the desired entry Scenario comparison <Name of base scenario> <Name of comparison scenario>, click the + button.

The following attributes are displayed under scenario comparison. The attributes are highlighted with a red circle. You must select at least one subattribute. They cannot be edited.

Attribute Description
Value Attribute value of network object in comparison scenario
<Name of base scenario> minus <Name of comparison scenario> Difference of attribute values between base scenario and comparison scenario
<Name of comparison scenario> minus <Name of base scenario> Difference of attribute values between comparison scenario and base scenario
<Name of base scenario> minus <Name of comparison scenario> % Difference of attribute values between base scenario and comparison scenario in percent ((Value of base scenario - Value of comparison scenario)/Value of base scenario)
<Name of comparison scenario> minus <Name of base scenario> % Difference of attribute values between comparison scenario and base scenario in percent ((Value of comparison scenario - Value of base scenario)/Value of base scenario)
Minimum The smaller of the two attribute values of the network object from the base scenario and comparison scenario
Maximum The larger of the two attribute values of the network object from the base scenario and comparison scenario

6.  Under scenario comparison, in front of the attribute of your choice, click the + button.

All attributes of the network object type are displayed.

7.  Select the desired attributes whose values you want to compare with the values of the same attributes in the base scenario.

If under an attribute, you select the subattribute Current run, Current run will show the following the simulation run:

  • In a comparison scenario, the last simulation run completed
  • in the currently loaded base scenario, the active, current simulation run
  • If no simulation is run in the base scenario, the last simulation run completed.

If simulations were run in the comparison scenarios, you can select subattributes from the desired simulation runs for the comparison. The subattributes begin with the number of the respective simulation run, e.g. 4 x current x All types.

8.  Click the button.

The attributes are displayed on the right in additional rows.

9.  Confirm with OK.

The attributes are displayed in the attribute list of the network object type.

Also applying subattributes selected from all scenario comparisons

1.  Select the desired subattributes as described above.

2.  Click the Add from all scenario comparisons button.

Showing comparison scenarios in which the selected network object is used

In an opened scenario, in the attribute list of a network object type, you can show the scenarios assigned for comparison that use network objects of the same network object type. To do so, in the Attribute selection window, on the left, select the desired comparison scenario and add it to the right side (Selecting attributes and subattributes for columns of a list). This is also possible in the result lists Simulation Runs, Vehicles In Network, Pedestrians In Network, and for dynamic assignment, in the Paths list.

1.  Opens the attribute list of the network object type in which you want to show the columns with scenarios that include the network object type (Opening lists).

2.  In the attribute list, click the Attribute selection button .

The <Network object type>: Select Attributes window opens. In the section on the left, the attributes of the network object type are displayed.

3.  In the section to the left of Exists in scenario, click the + button.

All comparison scenarios with a network object of the network object type are displayed. The scenarios to compare are marked with the symbol and sorted by number:  Scenario comparison <Name Scenario>.

4.  Select the desired comparison scenario.

5.  Click the symbol.

The selected scenarios to compare are listed on the right in an additional row. You cannot edit hatched cells or the attribute name.

6.  Confirm with OK.

In the attribute list, an ExistsInScen,<Number> column is displayed for each comparison scenario selected. In this column, in each row and for each network object that exists in the respective comparison scenario, the option is selected.
