VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

Signal Controllers
Some of the general controller features available with RBC are: 16 signal
groups, 16 overlaps, 8 PT signal groups, 4 rings, multiple detectors per
signal group and multiple signal groups per detector, 8 coordination patterns,
2 preempts, etc. PT signal priority and Preemption capabilities are available
based on your VISSIM license level.
The interface to the controller is accessed through VISSIM but saves its
settings to an external data file with the extension *.RBC. The RBC manual is
provided as MANUAL_RBC.PDF in the DOC folder of your VISSIM installation.
This controller type replaced the NEMA controller type in North America.
For data conversion, please refer to the NEMA_TO_RBC.PDF in the same
folder.
RBC users receive the *.DLL files with the VISSIM edition. They are also
provided as 64 bit versions.
