Road

Roads are represented in the Tygron Platform the in the following ways:

• Roads are generally represented by Buildings, with a Road Function.
• A road is assigned to one of these categories: ROAD, BRIDGE, INTERSECTION or UNDERGROUND.
• Roads are represented by MultiPolygons, stored in Sections.

Traffic Attributes

Function value	Attribute	Unit	Range	Description
Buses per hour	NUM_BUSES	vehicles/h	0 to 1.7976931348623157E308	How many buses move over any given cross-section of the road per hour, spread across all lanes.
Cars per hour	NUM_CARS	vehicles/h	0 to 1.7976931348623157E308	How many cars move over any given cross-section of the road per hour, spread across all lanes.
Trucks per hour	NUM_TRUCKS	vehicles/h	0 to 1.7976931348623157E308	How many trucks move over any given cross-section of the road per hour, spread across all lanes.
Vans per hour	NUM_VANS	vehicles/h	0 to 1.7976931348623157E308	How many vans move over any given cross-section of the road per hour, spread across all lanes.
Airplanes per hour	NUM_AIRPLANES	vehicles/h	0 to 1.7976931348623157E308	How many airplanes move over the given air traffic route, per hour.
Bicycles per hour	NUM_BICYCLES	vehicles/h	0 to 1.7976931348623157E308	How many bicycles move over the given bicycle traffic route, per hour.
Pedestrians per hour	NUM_PEDESTRIANS	pedestrians/h	0 to 1.7976931348623157E308	How many pedestrians move over the given route, per hour.
Ships per hour	NUM_SHIPS	vehicles/h	0 to 1.7976931348623157E308	How many ships move over the given ship traffic route, per hour.
Trains per hour	NUM_TRAINS	vehicles/h	0 to 1.7976931348623157E308	How many trains move over the given tracks, per hour.
Trams per hour	NUM_TRAMS	vehicles/h	0 to 1.7976931348623157E308	How many trams move over the tracks, per hour.
Speedlimit	TRAFFIC_SPEED	km/h	0 to 1.7976931348623157E308	How fast vehicles move on this building. This is only relevant for roads, intersections, and bridges. This affects the visualization, and the calculations for the Traffic Noise Overlay.
Lanes	TRAFFIC_LANES	integer	-1.7976931348623157E308 to 1.7976931348623157E308	How many lanes of traffic there are on this road. A negative value causes vehicles to move in the opposite direction. This is only relevant for roads, intersections, and bridges. This only affects the visualization.

Visualization

• Names of large roads are shown as Labels in the 3D Visualization when the zoom level of the camera is sufficiently close.
• The amount and speed of traffic units depend on the values of the road attributes;
  • The amount of lanes,
  • the allowed speed limit.
  • the amount of traffic.
• The type of traffic shown on a road depends on both:
  • the number of units per hour of that traffic type, defined for the Building or Function
  • whether Unit Types have been activated using Unit Data's

How-to's

• How to add a static traffic model
• How to add a dynamic traffic model
