This means, we will take a look at those columns in the project structure dialog, which are typically skipped in the first pass of learning scenario management in Vissim.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Project Structure Dialog Elements: Load Index, Exclusions, and Dependencies<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;24667&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;200&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Having understood the role of Modifications in general and the Load Index in particular, we can make use of it in the small example project of Rimea test case 12 \u2013 the example project from Part II.2.<\/p>\n<p>Careful readers may have noticed that the Modifications seemingly are shown in wrong order in the Project Explorer:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]The load index specifies the sequence in which the modifications are loaded, and later loading may overwrite earlier settings. By default, the Load Index matches the number. This default setting had to be changed here since the destination area needs to be moved to the right when the bottleneck is long, even if the destination is near. This translation must be overwritten in a later step if the destination is far. If one would \u2013 on the contrary \u2013 first move the destination area to the far position it would be placed next to the end of the bottleneck with the modification that elongates the bottleneck. Hence the relevance and effect of the load index in this case.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;24675&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;300&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Exclusions<\/h2>\n<p>It is an obvious fact: it is not possible that all pedestrians of a scenario are younger than 30 and older than 50 years old at the same time. It does not make sense to include modifications 4 and 5 both in one scenario. However, it is technically possible, and if you would do so, the one with the higher load index would define the outcome. But why would one do something, which does not really make sense? There is a realistic chance, that it is a plain mistake, if someone does something like this. Therefore, it is possible to tell that a modification is excluded from being combined with some other modification as it is shown in the project structure dialog for modifications 4 and 5 in Figure 3. If you try, you will receive an error message. For projects as simple as this one, this may seem like over-engineering, however, when modifications and scenarios are more complex or in collaborations within teams the exclusions option can prove helpful.<\/p>\n<h2>Dependencies: Modifications of Modifications and merging Modifications into the Base Network<\/h2>\n<p>The motivation to merge a modification to the base network may be to reduce the number of modifications in the project. While this may be regarded as being merely a comfort aspect, more important is that by default any new modification is be based upon the base network, i.e. it is defined by adding changes to the base network. If it is intended to change a certain object as part of a modification which is not included in the base network but has been created as part of another modification in first instance, this is \u2013 by default \u2013 not possible by means of further modifications.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;24691&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;300&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Once modelled as part of modification 1 the new staircase cannot be modified in further modifications to investigate variants, since by default any newly created modification once opened will show the base network for editing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;24698&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;300&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]As an example, a use case might be that updated fire safety regulations require that an additional, external staircase be built for a building. We are using another test case (no. 8) from Rimea here as shown&nbsp; to demonstrate this.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;24705&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;300&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]And second, when modification 2 is selected for a scenario, modification 1 is automatically selected as well. One may argue that the second variant of the additional staircase is so much different from the first variant of the staircase that one could simply model it from scratch working the base network.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;24712&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;300&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]However, if modification 2 is defined to depend on modification 1. then two things happen: first, when opening modification 2 for editing the base network plus modification 1 will be shown.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;24719&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;300&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]This can be quite helpful since in this way modelling work which has already been done as part of Modification 1 for scenario 2 and which is as well needed in Scenario 3 can be re-used and does not have to be done a second time. Here it is changes for the routes which are concerned. Instead, a Scenario with an alternative staircase can quickly be defined (Figure 25).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;24726&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;300&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]However, this overlooks that there can be further changes in modification 1 which can be reused independent of the changes in modification 2. In this example project it is the added intermediate points for the routes (Figure 24).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At this point, it may have become obvious: while it is not possible to merge modifications formally to the base network, it is possible to achieve the effect with the help of the \u201cDepends On\u201d column for modifications in the project explorer by making all other modifications depend on that Modifications which one would want to merge to the base network.<\/p>\n<p>You can find this Scenario Management project for download <a href=\"https:\/\/ptv2box.ptvgroup.com\/index.php\/s\/5DLKcnpW6yrteAS\">here<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_cta h2=&#8221;&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;flat&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Find out more&#8221; btn_style=&#8221;flat&#8221; btn_shape=&#8221;square&#8221; btn_color=&#8221;white&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ptvgroup.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fptv-vissim|target:_blank&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Get to know PTV Vissim<\/h2>\n<p>The world&#8217;s leading traffic simulation software digitally reproduces the traffic patterns of all road users on a microscopic scale[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Related Products<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;PTV Viswalk&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Learn more&#8221; el_class=&#8221;product-teaser&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ptvgroup.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fpedestrian-simulation-software-ptv-viswalk|target:_blank&#8221;]<span class=\"ui-provider cky ckz c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t cla clb w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">Pedestrian Simulation<\/span>[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;PTV Model2Go&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Learn more&#8221; el_class=&#8221;product-teaser&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ptvgroup.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fptv-model2go|target:_blank&#8221;]<span class=\"ui-provider cky ckz c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t cla clb w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">Ready-to-use transport model in just one week<\/span>[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;PTV Vissim&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; add_button=&#8221;bottom&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Learn more&#8221; el_class=&#8221;product-teaser&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ptvgroup.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fptv-vissim|target:_blank&#8221;]<span class=\"ui-provider cky ckz c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t cla clb w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">Multimodal Traffic simulation<\/span>[\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"card-text\">In part 3 of our summer series on scenario management, we will take a look at the columns in the project structure dialog, which are typically skipped in the first pass of learning scenario management in Vissim.
