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:

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
