Defining a partial route based on an existing partial route

If you have defined a partial vehicle route, partial PT route, or a route of the type Managed lanes for a link, you can select the destination section and then insert a new partial route that starts at the existing routing decision and ends at the current destination section.

Notes:   You can specify that you need not press the Ctrl key when adding network objects (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object). For some network objects there are windows in which the attributes of a network object can be defined and edited. There are lists for this, for all network objects. You can choose whether you want to open a window, a list or neither of the two for the definition of network objects in the Network Editor (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object).

1.  On the network object sidebar, click Vehicle Routes.

The button is highlighted. The variant of the network object type is displayed in parentheses and the button is shown.

2.  Click Vehicle Routes again.

A list box opens.

3.  Select the desired entry.

• Partial
• Partial PT
• Managed Lanes

4.  In the Network editor, right-click the destination section of the partial vehicle route you want to use as the basis of your new partial vehicle route.

5.  On the shortcut menu, click Add Vehicle Route.

6.  On the desired link, point the mouse pointer to the desired position of the new destination section.

If Vissim does not find a valid link sequence, neither a colored band nor a turquoise bar are displayed, or the band might be interrupted. Select another destination link or a new position for the destination section or correct the Vissim network, for example if a link is not connected properly with a connector.

You must select a different destination link or a new position for the destination section or correct the Vissim network.

If Vissim finds a valid connection via a link sequence, between the start section and the position the mouse pointer is pointing to, the link sequence is by default displayed as a colored band.

On the edge of the link, which you are pointing to with the mouse pointer, a black arrow is shown in the direction of travel. A colored bar shows the possible position of the destination section. Thereby you can select links from the different types of links, which are added in the next step of the destination section.

7.  Hold down the Ctrl key and right-click on this position.

8.  Release the keys.

Per default, a colored bar is inserted for the destination section. The list <Variant> Vehicle Routes opens.

9.  Edit the attributes (Attributes of partial vehicle routing decisions), (Attributes of partial vehicle routes)

The attributes are saved in the list.

10.  In the Network editor, click into an empty section.

The attributes are saved to the lists of the partial vehicle route and the vehicle routing decision.
