This page defines datasets in ANYWAYS, their structure, behaviour, and the types currently supported.

Datasets are used to represent traffic assigned to a network and are combined within scenarios to simulate traffic.

What is a dataset?

A dataset represents a set of trips with defined routing behaviour.

A dataset consists of:

• One or more origin-destination (OD) datasets
• An associated vehicle profile for each OD dataset

Each OD dataset defines:

• Where trips start and end
• How many trips occur
• For which vehicle type and time period

The associated vehicle profile defines:

• How those trips behave when routing through a network

A dataset does not contain:

• A network
• Fixed routes
