Mqfd, Loop, Travel Time

If you do not like to have a single analysis of a certain vehicle, but features over all a measuring loop occurring vehicles, than you can take one of the analysis programs specified above and they have no graphic result visualization.

For the call of the programs mqfd, loop or travel time proceed as follows:

• Call the terminal window, e.g. with help of the menu icon in the lower menu of the window manager.

• Go to the directory where your desired scenario is ('cd <directory name>'). Enter loop, mqfd or travel time.

• Now result files will be created, you can check the result files in the sub directory tmp- of the simulation directory by help of the midnight commander.

Other short names for the result files are  'MQ' for measurement cross-section, the number of the measuring loop and the short names '.sta', this means all vehicles. '.rea', 'syn'stands for real vehicles and synthetic vehicles.

Here is an example what you have to enter if you want to start 'mqfd'. You will need the same commandos for 'loop'.

The program travel time calculates the mean travel time needed by a vehicle through a track. These travel times are determined for all vehicles, which enter the track in the same time interval. After calling the program with travel time you first have to enter the name of the default file, then the start position of the track to be evaluated, the end position of the section and finally the tíme interval over which the calculation is to take place. The travel times are written into a result file named '<result file abbrevation>tt.data'.
