Saving signal controller green time distribution to a file
You can evaluate the absolute frequencies of the occurrence of green durations and red durations for each signal group. The evaluation also includes the calculated averages of both. Signal controllers must be defined in the network (Modeling signal controllers).
Output data and formats
You can save the following data and data formats:
Output | ASCII file | MDB table |
---|---|---|
Aggregated data |
*.lzv |
- |
Raw data |
|
|
- Save data to file (Configuring evaluations for direct output)
1. From the Evaluation menu, choose > Configuration > Direct Output tab.
2. In the Green time distribution row, select the option Write to file.
3. Confirm with OK.
4. Start the simulation (Running a simulation).
After the simulation run, an *.lzv file is saved.
Result of evaluation of signal controller green time distribution
The file of the signal controller green time distribution *.lzv contains the following data:
Element | Description |
---|---|
File title |
Name of evaluation |
File |
Path and name of network file |
Comment |
Optional comment from the simulation parameters |
Date |
Time of evaluation |
Vissim |
Version number, service pack number, build number |
Data |
The evaluation contains the following data blocks:
Each table entry ij indicates how often the signal group j received a release duration of i seconds.
In addition, the frequencies are represented graphically in a simple form. |
|
Note: For the graphic representation of green time distribution, you can import the file *.lzv into a spreadsheet program, e.g. Microsoft™ Excel. The block with the tabular green times is particularly suitable in this case. |
