► left-click the button.
The configuration file (*.SZP) contains the currently specified Layout of lines.
When the Signal control window is closed via OK, the layout file is saved
automatically (with the specified file name) to the folder, where the currently
used VISSIM network file (*.INP) is stored. It can then be reused for other
signal controls or different projects.
To create a new configuration file, a new file name has to be entered for
configuration file. The VISSIM network file (*.INP) always refers to the
recently saved configuration file which is automatically opened by default if
both, the *.INP file and the *.SZP file are stored in the same folder.
To use an existing configuration file, press and select an existing file.
When prompted, choose YES, in order for the configuration file to be read.
Caution: The previous configuration will be overwritten with the new layout
configuration.
With external signal control programs, the dynamic signal timing plan can
also be used to display other information such as the status of stages etc.
Please refer to the documentation of the individual control program for details
on the display of this additional data.
Results
The signal times are
shown in one separate
window for each signal
control. These windows
can be activated during a
simulation run.
The colors indicate the
current state of the signal
control. The current
simulation time step is on
the right.
If detectors are shown in the signal times table, the following colors indicate
the detector occupancy conditions:
► Change from empty (black line) to light blue: A vehicle passes the
detector within one time step resulting in an impulse increase and
decrease within one simulation second.
► Change from dark blue to light blue: A vehicle leaves the detector and a
new vehicle is detected within the same time step resulting in an impulse
decrease and increase within the same simulation second.
