Instructions

1. With a network open in PTV Vissim, open the Scripts list.

2. Create an entry in the Scripts list with the following attributes:

   • fromTime="0"
   • funcName="initialize"
   • name=""
   • no="1"
   • period="1"
   • runType="AFTSIMSTART"
   • scope="SIMULATIONRUN"
   • scriptFile="output-parking-lot-occupancy.py"
   • toTime="INF"

3. Create another entry in the Scripts list with the following attributes:

   • fromTime="0"
   • funcName="main"
   • name=""
   • no="2"
   • period="10"
   • runType="ATTMSTEPSTART"
   • scope="SIMULATIONRUN"
   • scriptFile="output-parking-lot-occupancy.py"
   • toTime="INF"

4. Run a simulation. Once the simulation has started, a CSV file is created for each parking lot in the network and results are written every second.
