Sketch a traffic study area in InfraWorks to use for Mobility Simulation.
Transcript
00:03
In InfraWorks, you can sketch a traffic study area to analyze traffic flow through intersections,
00:09
which you can later use to display color-coded traffic analysis results and generate traffic simulation animations.
00:17
Begin with the InfraWorks Mobility Simulation model open and navigate to the area you want to study.
00:23
For this example, the roundabout and major roads have already been converted to component roads, also called design roads.
00:31
If your roads have not been converted, select each planning road, right-click, and select Convert to Component Road.
00:39
Alternatively, or if you miss any, the program will attempt to convert them for you all at once after you create the study area.
00:48
From the ribbon, on the Analyze tab, expand the Transportation drop-down and click Traffic Simulation.
00:56
The traffic simulation mode begins, and component roads are highlighted in the InfraWorks model.
01:03
Now, click points in your model to draw a polygon for your traffic study area.
01:10
As you draw the study area, demand zones are automatically added where the traffic study area crosses component roads.
01:18
Demand zones are origins or destinations for trips, and they appear as light blue boxes within the drawing model.
01:26
Be aware that light blue boxes only appear over component roads, and not over planning roads.
01:33
When you are done, double-click to complete the selected traffic flow area.
01:38
A panel for the Traffic Study Area displays.
01:43
A Traffic Simulation confirmation dialog box also appears,
01:47
asking if you want to convert the planning roads inside the traffic study area to component roads.
01:53
For this example, click Yes.
01:56
A loading dialog appears as the roads are converted in your drawing, reporting progress.
02:01
Once that is done, you can zoom in to check that all roads were converted properly
02:07
and that demand zones appear at each crossing location.
02:10
In this case, everything is correct.
02:13
As you have seen, sketching a traffic study area in InfraWorks to use for Mobility Simulation is a straightforward process.
02:22
Now, you are ready to create a traffic simulation animation in your InfraWorks model.
