Defining vehicle inputs

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.  Make sure that you have defined the time intervals for which you want to enter volumes (Defining time intervals for a network object type).

2.  On the network object sidebar, click Vehicle Inputs.

3.  Hold down the Ctrl key and right-click the desired link or connector.

The Vehicle input window opens.

If there is no volume yet, only the column titles are displayed.

4.  Right-click in the list.

5.  On the shortcut menu, click Add.

A colored bar is shown at the start of the link. The Vehicle inputs list opens if automatic opening of a list after object generation is selected (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object).

A new row with default data is inserted.

The default value for Volume (Volume) is 0. The default value for the Vehicle composition (VehComp) is Default. Both default values are applied for all time intervals defined for vehicle inputs.

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

6.  In the list on the left, enter the desired attribute values (Attributes of vehicle inputs).

In the next steps you assign the desired network objects to the selected vehicle input.

The list on the right contains attributes and attribute values of network objects, and/or base data allocated to the network object selected in the list on the left (Using coupled lists):

• Link: Attributes of the link (Attributes of links)
• Vehicle volumes by time interval: if you have entered a volume or selected a vehicle composition and then select Vehicle volumes by time interval, the attributes of the vehicle volumes for the first time interval are displayed (Defining time intervals for a network object type).

7.  On the list toolbar, in the Relations list, click the desired entry.

The right-hand list is shown. If there is no assignment, only the column titles are shown.

8.  Enter the desired attribute values in the right-hand list (Attributes of vehicle inputs).

9.  In the right-hand list, you can add more entries for additional time intervals for which you want to define vehicle volumes for the selected vehicle input.

The data is allocated.
