Saving managed lane data to a file

During a simulation run, you can save attribute values of managed lanes, general purpose lanes and other attribute values of managed lane facilities in the Vissim network to an *.mle file. The following must be defined:

• Managed lanes routing decision (Modeling vehicle routing decision, vehicle routes and partial vehicle routes)
• Toll pricing calculation model (Defining toll pricing calculation models)
• Decision model for managed lanes facilities (Defining decision model for managed lane facilities)
• Managed lanes facility (Defining managed lane facilities)

Output data and formats

You can save the following data and data formats:

Output	Text file	Database file
Aggregated data	-	-
Raw data	*.mle	-

• Save data to file (Using the Direct output function to save evaluation results to files)

Result of managed lanes evaluation

The managed lanes evaluation file *.mle contains the following data:

Element	Description
File title	Name of evaluation
File	Path and name of network file
Comment	Optional comment from the simulation parameters
Date	Time of evaluation
Vissim	Version number, service pack number, build number
Managed lanes facility	Name and number of the Managed Lanes
Data block	Data block with a column for each attribute
