3.1.1 Basic
3.1.1.1 SG Number
Signal Group (SG) numbers for corresponding signal group. The SG number
that will be created in Vissim and will be used to create signal heads.
3.1.1.2 SG Name
The SG name is currently only used within the RBC graphical interface.
3.1.1.5 Max 1
This parameter defines the maximum green time that the signal group will be
allowed to extend before it will max-out. A max-out will make a signal group
eligible to terminate, even though it may not have gapped-out. Normally, the
maximum green timer will not begin counting until an opposing call to the signal
group is present. An exception to this rule is when the signal group is a flagged
as a “Max Recall” signal group, in which case the maximum green timer will
begin counting as soon as the signal group changes to green. Max 1 is the
default maximum green time for each signal group.
3.1.1.6 Yellow
The time a signal group will time a yellow interval before advancing to red. This
time cannot be abbreviated by any operation.
3.1.1.9 Walk
The minimum time a signal group will display a walk indication before advancing
to the pedestrian clearance interval (FDW). Pedestrian signal groups may rest
in the walk interval following the minimum walk time if the “Walk Rest” option is
flagged for the signal group. The minimum walk time can be shortened if the
signal group is not permitted by an active Preempt. A signal group may not
advance to yellow while the pedestrian movement is in the walk interval.
3.1.1.11 Start Up
Signal groups that will be green at the start of the simulation. By default, these
signal groups will begin timing in green with walk (if there is pedestrian timing
defined). The controller will not start up conflicting signal groups if conflicting
signal groups are defined in this parameter. If no signal groups are selected for
“Start Up”, the first signal groups listed in the Sequence will start in green at the
start of the simulation.
