YKAAVIO - Traffic Signal Coordination
MOST INFORMATION IS IN FINNISH
Translation continues...
|
YKaavio is a free software package for planning
the arterial coordination (green band) of signalized junctions. It is
based on the well-known graphical method presented first time in the
Finnish National Traffic Signal Planning Handbook LIVASU-1978.
The current version of YKaavio is provided for
drawing and checking the time-space diagrams of coordinated signals.
Later some real planning options will be included, too

INPUT DATA
|
Input
data needed for the program:
- Distances between junctions
- Distance between stop lines of the same junction
- Movements (signal groups)
- Signal plans (timings)
- The objective speed of the green band
All input is given in tables. The link and junction data
can be changed using the graphical or numerical interface
directly on the screen
|
|
|
OUTPUT DATA
|
The program
draws the time- distance diagram of the signal coordination,
called green band. Scales of the diagram can be
specified free.
The diagram shows in every junction and in every link:
- junction number and name
- link length and objective band speed in both directions
- signal timings in graphical and in numerical format
- theoretical speed of the leading and lagging edges of the
green band.

OUTPUT
IS GRAPHICAL
The user interface of the program is grafical. It is
very descriptive, so the objectives of the planning process
are all the time in hands.
SEVERAL
TIMING PLANS
You can draw up to 16 timing plans simultaneously.
So it is easy to compare several possibilities to coordinate
traffic signals. |
