SCATS Link View workflow Import existing SCATS settings via Region Sys.lx file(s) Define route settings (sites, distances, speeds) Choose system/link plan operating conditions (a.m/p.m etc) Visually alter TDD for desired coordination and traffic flow Output: new SCATS settings (SCATS commands text file) Apply settings by loading file into SCATS Access

Alpha/prototype demonstration

Alpha/Prototype limitations Sites must be defined in a Sys.lx file Cross-regional links not yet supported Slaved sites not yet supported Cannot edit site list/order No site schematic/graphics All subsystems must link otherwise TDD won’t be displayed Other minor limitations and potential software defects
