Assigning a color to vehicles based on an attribute

Note: A vehicle color based on an attribute is only displayed if the colors are not assigned automatically during the simulation (Dynamically assigning a color to vehicles during the simulation).

You may also display link segments in the simulation in colors based on traffic-related parameters (Assigning a color to links based on aggregated parameters).

1. On the network object sidebar, next to Vehicles In Network, click the Edit graphic parameters button .

The list with the graphic parameters of the network object type opens (List of graphic parameters for network objects).

2. In the Drawing mode list box, click Use color scheme.

3. In the list of graphic parameters, click Color scheme configuration.

The window Edit Color Scheme for Vehicles In Network opens.

If the window does not open because the option has been deactivated since program start, click the icon at the end of the row to open the window.

4. Make the desired changes:

Description

Class bounds and colors list

Edit color scheme. On the shortcut menu, click Add to add a new row to the list and define additional class bounds and colors.

Lower bound column: Value that represents the lower bound of the selected attribute within this value range. Based on value range after MIN, on upper bound of the row above.
Upper bound column: Value that represents the upper bound of the selected attribute within this value range. The upper bound belongs the value range.
Column Color: Select the color. You may also enter RGB values.
Name column: Name of the class in the legend

The unit of the values depends on the attribute selected and is displayed in the Classification section, below the attribute selected.

Range scale factor

Enter a factor for the upper bound and lower bound
Apply button: Multiply values of upper bounds and lower bounds by a factor

5. If you want to change the RGB values in the Color column, double-click the desired row.

6. Select the desired colors.
