Changing routing procedure via intermediate points

You can add temporary intermediate points to a vehicle route and then move them to different links. Vissim calculates a new link sequence or partial link sequence from the last upstream intermediate point via the current new intermediate points up to the next downstream intermediate point. In the case that no further intermediate point was set, the entire route is recalculated. You can add intermediate points already during the definition of vehicle routes (Inserting intermediate points into a vehicle route).

You can also move the route course for several vehicle routes at the same time, if they run over one route course (Change route course for several vehicle routes via intermediate points)

Change route course only for one vehicle route via intermediate points

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

2.  Click in the Network Editor on the destination section of the desired route.

The link sequence is shown as a colored band.

3.  Hold down the Ctrl key and right-click on the desired positions of the intermediate points.

4.  Release the keys.

5.  Click the first intermediate point you want to move and keep the left mouse button held down. Then drag the intermediate point to the desired position on another other link.

The new link sequence is shown as a colored band.

6.  Release the keys.

7.  If desired, move additional intermediate points.

8.  If you would like to confirm the new link sequence and hide the yellow band, in the Network Editor, click an empty area.

Change route course for several vehicle routes via intermediate points

You can move the route course for several vehicle routes at the same time, if they run over one route course.

1.  Open the table of the type of vehicle routes you want to move in the network editor, for example Static vehicle routes.

2.  Hold down the Ctrl key, and in the table, click the vehicle routes you want to move in the network editor.

The vehicle routes are highlighted in the table and displayed as a colored band in the network editor if synchronization is selected.

3.  Choose the network object type Vehicle routes from the network object sidebar.

4.  In the network editor, hold down the Ctrl key and click the position(s) where you want to add the intermediate points to the overlapping routes.

5.  Release the keys.

6.  Click the first intermediate point you want to move and keep the left mouse button held down. Then drag the intermediate point to the desired position on another other link.

The new link sequence is shown as a colored band.

7.  Release the keys.

8.  If desired, move additional intermediate points.

9.  If you would like to confirm the new link sequence and hide the yellow band, in the Network Editor, click an empty area.
