Reconfigure intersections by changing signals in your traffic simulation model in InfraWorks.
Transcript
00:03
In InfraWorks, you can use the advanced parameters in the Traffic Analyst panel
00:08
to reconfigure intersections in your traffic flow animation.
00:12
The Traffic Analyst panel contains advanced functionality that lets you adjust demand,
00:18
signal type, signal timing, and many other parameters in a traffic simulation model.
00:24
With a traffic simulation animation running, right-click inside the traffic study area and click Traffic Analyst Panel.
00:32
The Traffic Simulation confirmation dialog box appears, asking if you want to access the advanced parameters.
00:40
Click OK.
00:41
The Traffic Analyst panel opens in a separate application window.
00:46
In your model, zoom into the intersection area you want to change.
00:51
Right-click the area, select Intersection, and then click Adjust.
00:57
The Intersections dialog box appears, where you can adjust the signaling for this intersection.
01:03
Here, several different signals are already being used.
01:08
On the Turns tab, click on each of the turns to see the direction it refers to, indicated by an arrow on the map.
01:16
Suppose you want to allow left turns only from Caswell Road onto Salthouse Road.
01:22
For the first signal in the Turn list, click in the Fixed Signal column to expand the drop-down, and select barred.
01:30
This blocks the ability to make a right turn.
01:33
However, when you select the second signal in the list, you see in the model that vehicles can still turn left.
01:40
Select Apply, and then click OK.
01:43
The best way to keep this simulation separate from other options is to save it as a new simulation.
01:50
On the Simulation tab, click New.
01:54
In the New Simulation dialog, type a name for the simulation, such as “Simulation2”, and then click OK.
02:01
To make it the current simulation for the model, select Simulation2, and then click Show (the light bulb button).
02:09
Click Play, and watch the intersection to confirm the change.
02:14
As you can see in the animation, no right turns are allowed in this intersection.
02:19
In InfraWorks, the advanced parameters in the Traffic Analyst panel
02:24
make it easy and intuitive to reconfigure intersections in your traffic simulation animation.
