9.4.2 Analysis Tools

9.4.2.1 Vissim

Vissim is a common microsimulation software. Vissim is typically used for complex configurations and freeway operations but may be used for Microsimulation (microscopic) analysis of any segment. Vissim is customizable but needs significant input data. For more information on Microsimulation (microscopic) analyses, including inputs and outputs, see Chapter 13
.

9.4.2.2 Data and Input Parameters

9.4.2.2.1 Vissim

The data requirements for Microsimulation (microscopic) analysis are more extensive than for Sketch-level or macroscopic analysis or HCM-based (mesoscopic) analysis. See Chapter 13
for guidance of data inputs and parameters for a Microsimulation (microscopic) model.

9.4.2.3 MOEs

9.4.2.3.1 Vissim

Microsimulation (Microscopic) models produce a wide range of MOEs. See Chapter 13
for guidance MOEs for Microsimulation (microscopic) analysis.
