Defining flow bundles and filter cross sections

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.  Ensure that for the Vissim network, at least one simulation run for a dynamic assignment has been completed for which is a path file available.

2.  On the network object sidebar, click Flow Bundles.

3.  Hold down the Ctrl key and in the Network editor, right-click the link or connector for which you want to visualize the volume of its entire path.

By default, a yellow filter cross section is then inserted and selected at this position. By default, parallel to the path, yellow flow bundle bars depict the volume. The width of the flow bundle bar varies depending on the volume. You can show and hide the flow bundle bars (Displaying flow bundle bars).

4.  To insert additional filter cross sections for this flow bundle, repeat the last step.

5.  After having inserted the desired number of filter cross sections, in the Network editor, click an empty space.

6.  Release the keys.

The Flow bundles list opens if automatic opening of a list after object generation has been selected (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object). The attribute and attribute values of this network object type are shown in the list on the left, which consists of two coupled lists.

7.  Edit the attributes (Flow bundle attributes).

8.  Make sure that the desired entries have been selected in the Time intervals column.

The attributes are saved to the Flow bundles list.

9.  Configure the display of the flow bundle (Displaying flow bundle bars).
