Attributes of vehicle types

  • ►  On the Base Data menu, click > Vehicle Types.

The list of attributes opens.

The attribute and attribute values of this network object type are shown in the list on the left, which consists of two coupled lists.

Note: In lists, you can use the  Attribute selection icon to show and hide attribute values (Selecting attributes and subattributes for columns of a list).

The list on the left may include the following attributes:

Column Description
No

Unique identification number of the vehicle type

Name

Vehicle type label

Category

Vehicle category (Editing static data of a vehicle type)

Model2D3DDistr

2D/3D model distribution (Using 2D/3D model distributions), (Editing static data of a vehicle type)

ColorDistr1

Color distribution 1 of Color 1 (Editing static data of a vehicle type)

OccupDistr

Occupancy distribution: Default value 1 (Using occupancy distributions)

Capacity

Capacity: PT Parameters: Maximum number of passengers permitted per vehicle (Specifying duration of boarding and alighting for a PT vehicle type). Depending on the vehicle type, vehicles can have a capacity of 0 as default. Make sure that the capacity is not less than the occupancy (Attributes of PT lines).

Lateral drift speed function

Number of the Lateral drift speed function (Using lateral drift speed). The vehicle checks with each time step whether it fulfills the conditions for lateral deviation calculation.

Desired curve speed function

Number of the assigned curve speed function, on the basis of which the automatic speed limit in curves is calculated for the vehicles of this vehicle type, if this option is selected (Selecting network settings for vehicle behavior), (Defining curve speed). The speed at which vehicles of this vehicle type negotiate a curve more slowly is based on the minimum and maximum speed and the average speed from this function.

Critical speed function

Number of the assigned curve speed function for drifting in curves (Defining curve speed). The vehicle checks with each time step whether it meets the conditions that allow Vissim to use the Curve speed function function in order to calculate the speed ratio for the Lateral drift speed function (Using lateral drift speed).
