Saving vehicle input data to a file

You can record the vehicles that are used with vehicle inputs in the network. Links and vehicle inputs must be defined in the network (Modeling links for vehicles and pedestrians), (Modeling vehicle inputs for private transportation).

You can save the following data and data formats:

Output	ASCII file	MDB table
Aggregated data	-	-
Raw data	*.fhz	-

• Save raw data to a file (Using the Direct output function to save evaluation results to files)

Result of vehicle input data evaluation

A vehicle input evaluation *.fhz 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 block	Data block with the following information: one row per vehicle that enters the Vissim network one column per attribute

The data block of the evaluation file contains the following attributes in this sequence:

Column	Description
Time	Simulation second
Link	Number of link on which the vehicle is used.
Lane	Number of lane on which the vehicle is used. If a vehicle in the dynamic assignment drives away from a parking lot, the value 0 is output in the Lane column.
VehNo	Number of the vehicle
VehType	Number of vehicle type
Line	Number of PT line. No PT line: value 0
DesSpeed	Desired speed of vehicle
