Running the Simulation

Simulation Time Step SwashSim employs a 0.1-s simulation time step. That is, it updates the properties of all simulation objects (vehicles, signal control, etc.) 10 times per second.

Warm-up Time

Simulation Duration

Single Run

Multi-Run

The Multi-Run option is used to facilitate automatically running the simulation any number of times. This could consist of multiple replications of one set of traffic data inputs and/or multiple traffic data inputs, for a given network geometric configuration. For any multi-run execution, the network geometry must remain consistent and should be created first.

To input traffic data for multi-run, select “Simulation” to access the “Simulation Control Panel”.



Then select the “Multi-Run” tab on the “Simulation Control Panel” to input data.
