Attributes of meso edges

► On the Lists menu, click > Network > Meso Edges.

The Meso edges list opens.

The list on the left may include the following attributes:

Long name	Short name	Description
Number	No	Unique meso edge number
From meso node	FromMesoNode	Number of meso node at which the meso edge begins
To meso node	ToMesoNode	Number of meso node at which the meso edge ends
Length	Len	Length of meso edge [m]
Meso lane	MesoLn	Meso-specific lane numbers
Meso Additional Look Ahead Distance (Lane Choice)	MesoAddLookAheadDistLnChoice	Within this distance, a vehicle in the mesoscopic simulation considers other meso edges along its path when choosing a lane on that edge. The distance is measured downstream from the end of the edge. It is determined from the lane change distances of downstream connectors.
Type (Type): Vissim distinguishes between the following types of meso edges:
Micro-meso transition: Meso edge lies at the border of a section where transition from microscopic to mesoscopic simulation takes place. The length is 0.000 m.
Meso link: The meso edge lies between two meso nodes. This includes between two meso nodes of the type PT stop lay-by entry and PT stop lay-by exit.
Turn: The meso edge lies within a meso node.
Origin connector: Origin connector meso edge in parking lot. An origin connector meso edge does not have a preceding edge.
Destination connector: Destination connector meso edge in parking lot. A destination connector meso edge does not have a successive edge.
PT input connector: Meso edge at start section of public transport line
Vehicle input connector: Meso edge at 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):

Outbound meso nodes: List of the successive meso nodes
Inbound meso nodes: List of the preceding meso nodes
Reduced speed areas (Attributes of reduced speed areas)
Meso lanes: Meso-specific lane numbers of meso edge
Signal heads: Numbers of the signal heads at meso edge
Link sequence: Numbers of links and connectors that lead via meso edge (Attributes of links)
Desired speed decisions (Attributes of desired speed decisions)

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

3. Enter the desired data.
