Simulated travel time and generalized costs

The simulation of the traffic flow is used during the dynamic assignment to determine travel times in the network. The travel times of the vehicles are measured for every edge and every evaluation interval.

In contrast to travel times, the spatial lengths of the paths and the financial costs do not depend on the traffic conditions. Thus the spatial lengths of the paths and the financial costs do not need to be determined by simulation but can be read directly from the network model.
