Editing main node attributes in the list view

In the list view, each column describes a main node and each row describes an attribute of this object.

1.  In the network, double-click the main node that you want to edit.

The Junction editor displays the selected main node.

2.  Make the desired changes.

Note: Some layout and editing functions can be found in the shortcut menu of the list and the header row.

Editing main node attributes

You can edit the editable attributes of the main node in the list in different ways, depending on the attribute:

Note: The input options of the list view depend on the setting under Edit > User preferences > entry User interface > Junction editor (Adjusting the display and the input options of the list view).

You can, for example, display the following main node attributes in the list view:

Note: You can edit the attribute selection of the list (Adjusting the attribute selection in the Junction editor).

Element

Description

Number

Unique number of the main node

The main nodes are numbered consecutively. You can overwrite the preset number with a number that does not yet exist in the network.

Note

If you edit the main node number, existing assignment results will be deleted for all demand segments.

Type number

The main node type categorizes the main node (0...99) for the definition of turn standards (Managing turns).

The standard type is 0.

Code

Code of the main node

Name

Name of the main node

AddValue1-AddValue3

Free attributes which you can use to enter additional values.

Tip

If you want to allocate additional information to a network object, you can also create user-defined main node attributes (Managing user-defined attributes).

Capacity PrT

Allowed hourly PrT capacity of the main node

t0 PrT

Private transport turning time in an unloaded network

X-Coordinate

Y-Coordinate

Coordinates of the centroid of the main node in the network

The coordinates are assigned automatically according to the set coordinate system (Selecting a coordinate system).

The label of a main node is always displayed at the position of its centroid.

Control type

Use the drop-down list to select the control type of the main node.

  • Unknown
  • Uncontrolled
  • Two-way stop
  • Two-way yield
  • Signalized
  • All-way stop
  • Roundabout

Use preset method for impedance at node

If the option has been selected, the method set under attribute Method for impedances at node will be used.

If the option has not been selected, the Standard method will be used that is set under Calculate > General procedure settings > PrT settings > Node impedances (Selecting the method for node impedance calculation).

Method for impedance at node

You can use the list box to select a method for the impedance calculation of the main node if the Use preset method for impedance at node option has been selected (Selecting the method for node impedance calculation).

Has automatic major flow

Calculated attribute which indicates whether a manual or an automatic major flow exists at the main node

Partial nodes

Use these buttons to allocate or remove partial nodes to the main node in a separate window.

Notes

A node can only be allocated to a one main node.

If you edit the allocation of partial nodes, other cordon links may evolve (Effects of cordon link changes) and existing PrT assignment results will be deleted.

Tips

You can also allocate nodes to main nodes as follows:

The following attribute is only displayed if a geometry template has been defined:

Element

Description

Apply geometry template

Here you can select a geometry template which shall be used for the main node.

Tip

Geometry templates can be created in the Geometry view (Creating a geometry template).
