66 CHAPTER 6 • LANE SETUPthe sensor when there are non-parallel lanes in its field of view. Alternatively, it can alsostop events from being generated in any non-lane areas. In the Lane Verification screen,and when the sensor is reporting data, any vehicles in non-lane defined areas will not beshown regardless of whether the area is excluded or not. Click in an excluded area and theExcluded Area window will appear, allowing you to include the area again.Figure 6.10 – Edit Area WindowLane WindowClick anywhere on a lane and the Lane window will appear, allowing you to changethe name, direction and activity of a lane (see Figure 6.11). SSMHD uses “LANE_xx”as the default lane name where “xx” is the number of the lane in range, beginning with“LANE_01.” When a new lane is added, all lanes with the default lane name format willautomatically be renamed to indicate their increasing number in range. If this is not desired,the lane names can be changed in any way; lane names are case and symbol sensitiveand are limited to eight characters.For RTMS and Z4 data push types, the mapping of the lanes may be changed using thenotation #xx (e.g. #08), where 08 is a lane number between 1 and 99. In this case, ALLlanes in the configuration must be assigned a lane number using the #xx notation in orderfor the new lane mapping to take effect.Figure 6.11 – Lane Adjustment WindowThe direction button allows you to set the direction for the lane—Left, Right or Bidirectional.The direction chosen determines what data is shown: if Right is the set direction fora lane, only traffic going to the right will be detected; and if Left is the set direction for alane, only traffic going to the left will be detected (when Direction Protection is on). If thelane is set to Bidirectional, data will be reported for traffic going both directions. This isuseful for lanes that change direction depending on the time of day. Selecting Bidirectionalis essentially the same as turning off Direction Protection for that lane (see the Lane Ad-
