© PTV America 2006 3 Software-in-the-Loop Controllers Concept > Replaces hardware-in-the-loop > Same logic as firmware > Virtual time clock and calendar > Timing parameter database exchange with field controllers > Commercial signal control firmware interfaces directly with VISSIM’s Signal Controller API
4
© PTV America 2006 4 Software-in-the-Loop Controllers Motivation > Error/bias due to improper emulation (TSP, Coordination, etc) > Faster than real time > Synchronization > No hardware required Disadvantages > More communication overhead than VISSIM’s embedded controller > No data exchange with other controllers (future NTCIP compliant) > No import from signal optimization tools (future development)
