[PARAMETERS] [SIGNAL2000]
The purpose of this command is to enter the type of phase module present, actuated or nonactuated, for each movement of the current intersection for use in the determination of the Delay
Calibration Term (k).
<Actuated Movement> is a keyword describing whether or not the movement is part of an
actuated phase, or the unit extension value (sec) of the actuated phase, and can have the values
described below:
NO - the movement is not part of an actuated phase (default).
YES - the movement is part of an actuated phase (unit extension is 3 sec.).
0.2-30.0 - unit extension in seconds.
Notes
•
ACTUATIONS are used in conjunction with v/c to determine the Delay
Calibration Term, according to Exhibit 16-13 of the 2000 Highway Capacity
Manual.
•
Specifying YES or giving extensions for all non-zero lane groups indicates a fully
actuated signal. Specifying NO for all non-zero lane groups indicates a pretimed
signal. Specifying YES or giving extensions for some, but not all, non-zero lane
groups indicates a semiactuated signal.
•
An ARRIVALTYPE value other than 3 may be used for a movement with
ACTUATIONS set to something other than NO, but only where it is clear that the
coordinated movement is truly actuated when it is also coordinated.
