Simulation Output Data

Main Page > Technical Documentation > Simulation Output Data

These files get written to the output data folder selected in the project properties dialog. However, the first file can get extremely large, so it is only recommend to output it if you need to do a close examination of the vehicle properties and/or want to do some post-processing of the data.

Detector Vehicle Actuation Data Outputs details of each detector actuation, for all network detectors. One comma-separated value (CSV) file will be created for each detector. The CSV file will be named as follows:

Link_i_j_Detector_k_x_z.csv

where: i corresponds to the Link ID of the link containing the detector, j corresponds to the Lane ID of the lane containing the detector, k corresponds to the Detector ID, x corresponds to the scenario number, and z corresponds to the replication number.

Lane Change Data

Outputs details of the lane change maneuvers, to a comma-separated value (CSV) file.

Platoon Data Outputs vehicle platoon measurements, to a comma-separated value (CSV) file.

Emissions and Fuel Consumption Data The simulation will calculate detailed vehicle emissions and fuel consumption data, for every simulation time step. These values can be viewed in the animation, as well as the vehicle time step data output file (if selected for output).

Vehicle Headway Data Outputs the headway values for each vehicle generated into the network, from each entry node, to a comma-separated value (CSV) file.

Vehicle Time Step Data Outputs detailed vehicle data, for every simulation time step, to a comma-separated value (CSV) file. These values can also be viewed in the animation when individual vehicle properties are displayed.

Generates a CSV file titled “TSD_FacilityType_x_y_z”, where FacilityType corresponds to the type of facility simulation, x corresponds to the scenario number, y corresponds to the sub-scenario number, and z corresponds to the replication number. The file provides detailed time-step vehicle properties. This file can get extremely large, so it is only recommend to output it if you need to do a close examination of the vehicle properties and/or want to do some post-processing of the data.

Signal Time Step Data

Generates a CSV file titled “TSD_signal.csv” upon running a simulation. The file provides the signal phase status for every simulation time step, for every signal in the network, to a comma-separated value (CSV) file.
