Thinking Inside the Box: Traffic Controllers for Traffic Analysis Bill Ische Sr. Business Development Manager Trafficware Group, LLC Sugar Land, TX

Trafficware Overview Software Hardware Services

Synchro Studio and Traffic Signal Controllers Synchro allows for basic traffic controller input Synchro calculations are deterministic HCM and other analysis tools use controller settings Accurate controller settings are critical SimTraffic mimics basic signal functions Basic Signal Timings Coordination Volume-Density Settings Signal settings are important for good HCM output – extensions etc,

Trafficware Controller Interface Hardware-in-the-loop (HILS) Trafficware CI Trafficware Controller Interface Hardware-in-the-loop (HILS) Connects to Controller’s SDLC Port Primary Applications Training Testing Advanced Controller Logic TS2 or 2070 and receives detection and forwards tio controllers

Trafficware Virtual Controller Emulates an actual Signal Controller Software-in-the-loop (SILS) Implemented into SimTraffic Performs exactly like a field controller Perform advanced simulation and analysis Used for SynchroGreen modeling, also allows multiple controller simulation
