Managing time-varying attributes

With the aid of time-varying attributes, you can override the regular value of an attribute with a deviating value for a defined amount of time. This way you can, for example, model the impact of tidal flow lane allocation or transient road works.

You can allocate time-varying attributes to the following network object types:

  • Node
  • Main node
  • Links
  • Turn
  • Main turns
  • Lanes
  • Restricted traffic areas
  • Sharing stations

To set a time-varying value, you first need to specify which attribute shall be time-varying. Then you specify the duration of the deviating value and enter the value that shall apply during the specified time.
