Running the Simulation

The Multi-Run tab is used to automatically run the simulation multiple times. This could consist of multiple iterations of the exact same input conditions, or multiple iterations of multiple sets of traffic conditions. For any multi-run execution, the network geometry must remain consistent.

Begin by selecting “Add Scenario” to add the needed amount of iterations for the Multi-Run. To input Traffic Data select “Set” in the traffic data column to input entry flow rate and specify percentage of passenger cars and heavy vehicles. “Entry Flow Rate” must be input first before percentages are input. Make sure to “Save Changes” in Direction 1 before inputting data for Direction 2. If the same percentages are to be input into both directions values can be copied by selecting “Copy Values to Clipboard” and pasted by selecting “Paste Values from Clipboard”. After traffic data is input, be sure to specify “Warm-Up Times” and “Sim Duration” for simulation to run. The number of replications and output data can also be selected from the “Simulation Control Panel”. The final step before running simulation is to select which iterations to be simulated. The newly created Multi-Run can be saved, to easily pull up the same set later by selecting “Save Values to File”.
