Traff-20 VC5.1 - Changes Implemented Traff sends SG colours to SCATS;Traff sends SG colours to SCATS; –FRYG bits sent to SCATS each SG; SCATS can request SG colours:SCATS can request SG colours: –For all SGs – one off request; –Colour updates for all SGs (times out in 12 seconds); –Colour for a specific SG – one off request;

Traff-20 VC5.1 - Changes Implemented Traff filters flashing groups to prevent too many comms messages;Traff filters flashing groups to prevent too many comms messages; –Only the first two flash colours are sent back for flashing groups;

Traff-20 VC5.1 - Changes Implemented Colours reported for a monitored Pedestrian Group: WalkClearance Don’t Walk G FRFRFRFR FNFNFNFN R

Traff-20 VC5.1 - Changes Implemented Colours reported for a Flashing Group (where the SG colour is stable for less than 1 second): Flashing Yellow and Red (Wig Wag) OffOff Y FRFRFRFR FYFYFYFY N

Traff-20 VC5.1 - Changes Implemented SCATS users can operate logical detectors:SCATS users can operate logical detectors: –Pulse detector on for 4 secs; –‘Permanent’ on; (SCATS needs to reset the detector 60 sec ‘on’ timer) The simulated detector will affect: phase demands, extension, five minute counts, volume and non-occupancy data.The simulated detector will affect: phase demands, extension, five minute counts, volume and non-occupancy data.

Traff-20 VC5.1 - Changes Implemented SCATS can demand a phase option;SCATS can demand a phase option; The Call Phase (CLP) message has been extended to include a phase option:The Call Phase (CLP) message has been extended to include a phase option: –Zero – no phase option (default); –1-255 – option as programmed by personality; eg Option 2 to run diamond phase E2 option;

Traff-20 VC5.1 - Changes Implemented Advantages of TTT data:Advantages of TTT data: –Immunity to longer breaks in SCATS communications (without fallback and breaking marriage chains); –Allow personality to introduce features late in the phase (similar principle to Z5); –SPaT (Signal Group Phase and Timing) data (eg predict end of phase);

Traff-20 VC5.1 - Changes Implemented Advantages of TTT data:Advantages of TTT data: B Phase MinMin C Phase Comms Break NXP C B TTT C TTT C Option Fallback from Masterlink Mode B TTT C TTT Controller Moves to C if Demanded

Traff-20 VC5.1 - Changes Implemented More information in the Pedestrian Status Message (PED):More information in the Pedestrian Status Message (PED): –Now sends Pedestrian clearance 1 and 2 status; –Still sends Walk and Demand status; –Delay and Walk2 status are sent in another message; Walk 1 Clearance 1 Don’t Walk Delay 1 Delay 2 Walk 2 Clearance 2
