ACTIONS AND ENTRY PARAMETERS
PATHASSIGNMENT
<Path #> <Path %> <Path List>
Enter a path (list of intersections) which vehicles of the current distribution type follow when
traveling to and from the development.
ASSIGNMENT
<Type #> <Intersection #>
12*<<Movement #> <Assignment Factor>>
Enter the percentage of a distribution type to be assigned to the movements at an intersection.
This is only used to define special assignment situations, and is not normally used for typical site
traffic assignment situations.
Commands to Enter Traffic Count Data
The following are commands which can be used to describe traffic count data for each
intersection being analyzed but whose data values are not used by PRENOSTOP. Their
inclusion in the program is to provide seamless data file compatibility with the TURNS and
WARRANTS programs in particular, and all TEAPAC programs, in general.
COUNTTYPE
<Type of Data> <Type of Truck Counts>
Enter the type of count data which is to be supplied to the program at the current intersection, and
to provide a description of the count.
PERIODS
<Count Interval> 5*< <Start Time> <Stop Time> >
Enter the count interval and the beginning and ending times for each count period for which
subsequent data will be entered at the current intersection.
CONDITIONS
<Major Direction> <# N-S Lanes> <# E-W Lanes>
<High Speed> <Low Population>
<Progression Impact> <Remedial Actions Failed>
<# Accidents for Signal> <Stop Sign Delay>
<# Accidents for Stop> <Minor Street Delay>
Enter intersection conditions which affect the conduct of a Warrant Analysis at the current
intersection.
ADTFACTOR
<Factor to Expand Counts to 24 Hour Volumes>
Enter a factor which will be used to estimate 24-hour volumes from partial day's counts at the
current intersection.
VEHICLECOUNTS
<Movement or Time> <List of Counts>
Enter the count of vehicles for a count interval or movement number at the current intersection.
TRUCKCOUNTS
<Movement or Time> <List of Counts>
Enter the count of trucks for a count interval or movement number at the current intersection.
