Overview of evaluations

Depending on the selected evaluation, the type of data and the desired further use, you can show evaluations in lists and/or windows and save them to text files and/or database files:

Direct Output: The data of the evaluation is saved as text files. In text files, semicolons are used as a separator. Thus you can import text files into spreadsheet programs, e.g. Microsoft™ Excel™, and use them for calculations, analyses or graphical display.

You can also save the data of the following evaluations to database files:

Vehicle record (Saving vehicle record to a file or database)
Vehicle travel times (raw data) (Evaluating vehicle travel time measurements)
Pedestrian record (Saving pedestrian record to a file or database)
Nodes (raw data) (Evaluating nodes)
Signal changes (Evaluating signal changes)

Some evaluations contain raw data. These are already written during the simulation, while the data of other evaluations are written after the simulation.

Result Attributes: Data is aggregated to result attributes during the simulation. You can show the result attributes like static attributes in the following program elements:
in result lists
in the attribute lists of network objects
in the quick view
in Network Editors as labeling of network objects
Windows: You may show the data of the following evaluations in windows:
Signal controller detector record (Evaluating signal controller detector records)
Signal changes (Evaluating signal changes)
Signal times table (Showing signal times table in a window)
Result Lists: Result lists contain the values of the attributes Simulation run and Time interval as well as the data of network object-specific attributes. You can save a result list to an attribute file *.att.

The table under the following list shows the output options for the result data of each evaluation:

TXT: save directly to *.txt file
MDB: save directly to *.db file
ATT: Show result attributes in lists and if desired, save to *.att file
Window: display in a window in Vissim
