Recovery period after complete standstill traffic
In real networks, after complete standstill traffic, vehicles can recover more slowly and further downstream than is modeled with the default driving behaviors defined.
The following attributes allow you to calibrate driving behavior, so that it matches real data that shows a slow recovery. To do so, select the Recovery slow attribute. The other attributes listed in the table below then have an impact within the distance defined in the Recovery distance attribute, even if Recovery slow has been selected for the driving behavior within this distance.
- The Recovery slow attribute has been selected for the vehicle for a time step of the simulation.
- During this time step, the vehicle stays below the speed defined in the attribute Recovery threshold speed.
| Long name | Short name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery acceleration | RecovAcc |
Percentage of normal acceleration used during slow recovery. Default value of 40 %. |
| Recovery distance | RecovDist |
Maximum distance of impact of slow recovery from last location of complete standstill traffic. Default 2000 m |
| Recovery threshold speed | RecovSpeed |
Speed limit below which Vissim detects complete standstill traffic. The default value is 60% of the desired speed. As long as the vehicle follows a driving behavior for which Recovery slow has been selected or the it reaches the distance defined via the Recovery distance attribute, the following applies:
|
| Recovery slow | RecovSlow |
|
| Recovery safety distance | RecovSafDist |
Percentage of normal safety distance used during slow recovery. Default value of 110 %. |
If this option is selected, how quickly vehicles recover after complete standstill traffic depends on the attributes listed in this table.Superordinate topic:
