Because PTV won’t change VISSIM COM Lib’s GUID with its service packs, the utility should work with all service packs of the same major version.

I just updated this small utility to be compatible with this latest VISSIM 5.4 version. Since VISSIM does not provide a convenient off-the-shelf solution for this type of situation, there have been surprisingly quite some VISSIM users, including university faculties, graduate students, traffic engineers contacted me for accessing this utility, to use in their engineering projects, research dissertations and others.Īs of today, the latest VISSIM version available to North American users is 5.40 (SP3). This “limitation” might be awkward sometimes, if you do not mean to close the lane for the entire simulation period, but just want to close the lane at certain point, and re-open it at a later time during the simulation. Once you specify a lane closure at the beginning, it will be literally a lane closure throughout the entire simulation period. Interestingly, over the years PTV didn’t bother to implement this “dynamic lane closure” as its default feature. The tool can be pretty handy for modelling lane closure ( You Bet!), incidents, evacuation contraflow, work zones etc. It utilizes VISSIM COM interface to dynamically close or open any lane of any link at any time, during the simulation. The “Lane Closure Utility” is a hobby tool I developed when I was a graduate student 5 years ago. Reports include For Example Steps ( turn earth button to choose location, choose Roundabout in Abu-Dhabi, Add links to do this and this, add vehicle inputs, simulation parameters speed, Vehicle routes).Moreover,Suggestions or plans or test on roundabout and if it is possible to make it more efficient.This post has already been read 14382 times!
