Setting volume for paths manually

In the parameters of dynamic assignment, on the Choice tab, select Use volume (old) to set the distribution of vehicles across the paths during a simulation run or prior to a simulation run.

Setting the distribution of vehicles during a simulation run

To set the distribution of vehicles across the paths of a time interval that has not begun yet, use the Volume (old) attribute.

1.  Start the simulation (Running a simulation).

2.  On the Traffic menu, click > Dynamic Assignment > Paths.

The list Paths opens.

3.  Verify that in the list, the column for the Volume (old) attribute shows the time intervals for which you want to set volumes.

4.  Under Volume (old), enter the values of your choice for the desired time intervals that have not begun yet.

Setting the distribution of vehicles prior to a simulation run

When in the attributes of dynamic assignment, in the Files tab, in the Path file box, a *.weg file is selected, you can read in the paths from this file and set the volume before starting the simulation.

1.  On the Traffic menu, click > Dynamic Assignment > Read Paths.

Tip: Alternatively, to read paths, in the Paths list, right-click them and on the shortcut menu, click Read Paths.

The Paths list is updated.

2.  Verify that in the list, the column for the Volume (new) attribute shows the time intervals for which you want to set volumes.

3.  Under Volume (new), enter the values of your choice.

4.  On the Traffic menu, click > Dynamic Assignment > Write Path File.
