Selecting sections for hybrid simulation

If during hybrid simulation of your Vissim network, you want to microscopically simulate parts of the network, you must define sections for these parts (Modeling sections). You must select the sections you want Vissim to simulate microscopically. In the microscopic simulation, the sections selected for microsimulation include the distances and connectors on the level that is allocated to the section.

1.  On the Simulation menu, click > Parameters.

The Simulation parameters window opens.

2.  Select the Meso tab.

3.  Select the Meso simulation method.

In the Sections for microscopic simulation area, all sections are displayed. Vissim only performs microscopic simulation for the sections selected.

4.  Hold down the Ctrl key and click the desired sections.

When you start the simulation, in the selected sections, the Vissim network is simulated microscopically on the links and connectors that are on the level that is also allocated to the section. Outside of these sections, the Vissim network is mesoscopically simulated; vehicles are not shown. For the selected sections, Vissim chooses the attribute Meso - use as section for microsimulation (MesoUseForMicrosim).
