Nodes capture intersection throughput, queuing, and delay. Nodes can be drawn around an intersection that encloses all movements such that all approaches are bisected by one side of the polygon. Additionally, when creating nodes, the start of delay segment encompasses the entirety of the expected queue. It is important to note that to use node evaluation results, the “use for evaluation” attribute is selected in the Node Object Table.

Please note this is true for a link-based software like Vissim but does not apply to a node-based software.
