Defining data collection points

Data collection points and data collection measurements based on them are similar to induction loops that are attached to roadway tracks for the recording of traffic volume.

In Vissim data collection points can be used, in particular, for monitoring the simulated number of vehicles. This data can be recorded in evaluations for specific vehicle classes (Evaluating data collection measurements).

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 Data Collection Points.

2.  Hold down the Ctrl key and right-click on the desired position of the data collection point in the link or the connector.

A colored bar is added. The Data Collection Points list opens.

3.  Edit the attributes:

Element	Description
No	Unique identification of the data collection points
Name	Data collection point name
Lane	Lane
Pos	Position on the link

Showing and editing dependent objects as relation

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

1.  In the list on the left, click the desired entry.

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):

• Data collection measurements (Defining a data collection measurement in lists), (Generating data collection measurements in lists)

2.  Edit the desired entries.

The data is allocated.
