10.  March to May 2005  coded signal timing  coded network geometry  June to August 2005  assembled demand data  verified intersection geometry  calibrated base scenario  September to November 2005  coded variants on the Sainte-Marie sector  continued calibration Quarterly Work Plan

11. Signal timing plans  330 signalized intersections  120 stop-controlled intersections  signal timings  lane configurations Intersection spreadsheet Visual Basic scripts  generate ASCII file for intersections  generate ASCII format for traffic counts  rotate network from diagonal to horizontal  change the number of lanes between the AM and PM periods  log network modifications  electro-mechancal signal controls  AM & PM fixed timing plans
