Input: Network file (input file)

File format of network file until Vissim 5.40. *.inp network files saved in Vissim 5.40 can also be opened in Vissim from version 6 and above. Network files from older versions cannot be opened in Vissim version 6 or above.

Network backup copy

Automatically generated copy of the input file

Interstages (ASCII)

Output file of Vissig/CROSSIG/P2, input file for a VAP control logic with stages and interstages (Exporting data from the signal controller editor), (Add-on module Traffic-dependent VAP Programming).

Avoid special characters and accent marks in names and identifiers, for example in the name of a signal group. For additional information, refer to the VAP manual (Identifiers section), which by default is saved to the ..\Doc\<language ID> directory of your Vissim installation.

Parameter file

VS-PLUS parameter settings (Add-on module VS-Plus)

Input file in *.xml format. Visum file for Vissim route import (coordinates) (Importing routes). The file contains the following route data:

• Numbers of the zones in which routes begin and end
• Coordinates of the link polygons
• Volume
• Vehicle types
• Projection information

Supply file of the fixed time controllers in XML format (Opening and using the signal controller editor), (Using signal controller type Fixed time) until Vissim 2021.

From Vissim 2022, the supply data are stored in the signal controller attribute Internal supply data. If you open an *.inpx file of a Vissim version prior to 2022 that contains a reference to a *.sig file, Vissim will read the supply data from this file and convert the data. When you save the *.inpx file, the supply data is also saved to it. You can then delete the *.sig file.

File to which the modification changes are saved (Editing the project structure)

Vissim 3D file
