Creating missing lane turns for main nodes

With this function, you can automatically create lane turns for main nodes with two legs. In the course of this, for each inbound lane turn at least one outbound lane turn is inserted, and at least one inbound lane turn is inserted for each outbound lane turn.

Notes: This modeling process is recommended for SBA assignments or as a preparation for the meso simulation in Vissim.

Main nodes that were edited with this functionality do not have the default node geometry any more. If you want to run a micro simulation in Vissim, you should therefore not use this function.

You can execute the functionality for all, all active main nodes, or main nodes marked in the network editor.

Editing the attribute values of all or all active main nodes

1.  If required, set the main nodes active for which you want to generate lane turns, via

The selected main nodes are active.

2.  In the Network window, right-click the Main nodes button.

The Main nodes shortcut menu opens.

3.  Select Create missing lane turns.

The Create missing lane turns window opens.

4.  If necessary, select the Only edit active objects option.

5.  Confirm with OK.

The lane turns are created. The user-defined attribute InsertedLaneTurns is set at created lane turns.

Editing marked main nodes

1.  In the network, mark all main nodes for which you want to create lane turns.

2.  Right-click in the network display.

A shortcut menu opens.

3.  Select the entry Create missing lane turns.

4.  Confirm with OK.

The lane turns are created. The user-defined attribute InsertedLaneTurns is set at created lane turns.

Tip: You can also call the function from the shortcut menu of the corresponding list and edit marked objects together.
