The Meso turns list opens.

The list on the left may include the following attributes:
| Long name | Short name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Defining links | DefLink |
Links and connectors of the meso turn. The defining links are specified depending on the number of links in the link sequence. If a link sequence contains only one link, it is the defining link. If a link sequence contains two links, the connector is the defining link. If there are three or more links in the link sequence, all links except the first and last link belong to the Defining links. |
| Nodes | Nodes |
Number of node in which the meso turn lies |
| Meso edge | MesoEdge |
Number of meso edge |
| Meso node | MesoNode |
Number of meso node in which the meso turn lies |
| From link | FromLink |
Number of link or connector at which the meso turn begins |
| To link | ToLink |
Number of link or connector the meso turn leads to |
| Link sequence | LinkSeq |
Number of links or connectors via which the meso turn leads. Contrary to the defining links, this also includes the From link and To link. |
| Meso follow-up time | MesoFollowUpGap |
The meso follow-up gap determines the maximum capacity (3,600 s / meso follow-up gap) of a subordinate flow within a node, as long as there is no traffic on a route that leads to conflict. The follow-up gap only becomes effective, if it is greater than the temporal distance between two successive vehicles that has been defined in the car following model. The meso follow-up gap is a link attribute (Attributes of links). The meso follow-up gap only has an impact on simulation, if it is greater than the temporal distance specified in the car following model. Only then is the capacity reduced. When defining values for the follow-up gap, you can refer to established manuals such as HBS or HCM. Edit this attribute in the Meso turns list or in the Nodes - Meso turns coupled list (Attributes of nodes). The values are saved to the defining links as Meso follow-up gap. The default value is 0.0 s: When you use the default value, only the car following model takes effect (Car following model for mesoscopic simulation). Value range 0 - 1,000 s. |
Showing and editing dependent objects as relation
1. In the list on the left, click the desired entry.
The list on the right contains attributes and attribute values of network objects, and/or base data allocated to the network object selected in the list on the left (Using coupled lists):
- Defining links: List of the meso turn links and connectors that are significant for the behavior of vehicles in mesoscopic simulation (Attributes of links)
- Link sequence: List of all links and connectors of the meso turn (Attributes of links)
2. On the list toolbar, in the Relations list, click the desired entry.
3. Enter the desired data.
The data is allocated.
