Modeling signal controllers

You can define signal controllers (SCs) for the following types of signal control procedures:

Fixed-time control and traffic-actuated controls with data files

For the signal control procedures Fixed time control, Epics Balance/Local and External, you can use the add-on module Vissig to define and configure signal groups. The Network editor allows you to add signal heads to the Vissim network. You assign each signal head a signal group of your choice.

Notes: You are provided with the DLL files for external signal controllers in a 64-bit Vissim edition according to the 64-bit license purchased.

If your license includes the SC type External, you need to compile the DLL files according to your 64-bit Vissim version.

Vissim only allows you to access data of an external signal controller, if you have saved the network file. This way, it is made sure that the controller files and the network file*.inpx are saved to the same directory.
