Defining the right of way at conflict areas

You can define the priority for conflicting traffic flows at automatically generated conflict areas.

1.  On the network object sidebar, click Conflict Areas.

The conflict areas are shown in color in the Network editor. Per default, conflict areas that have not yet been allocated a right of way are highlighted in yellow.

Note: You can change the setting to where you do not have to press the Ctrl key (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object).

2.  In the Network Editor, click the conflict area for which you want to define the right of way.

The conflict area is highlighted.

3.  Hold down the Ctrl key and right-click in the Network editor until the desired right of way is shown.

  • Green: major flow (right of way)
  • Red: minor flow (yield)
  • Both red: for branching conflicts, so that vehicles can "see" each other. There is no intersection control, as vehicles simply remain in their original sequence.
  • Both amber: passive conflict area without intersection control

In the Network editor, the conflict area changes its color. In the Conflict Areas list, the following attributes are automatically adjusted:

  • Link 1 and Link 2 are displayed in the color of the intersection control
  • Status: right of way and colors

4.  Edit the attributes (Attributes of conflict areas).

The attributes are saved in the Conflict Areas list.

Note: Alternatively, right-click in the Network editor and on the shortcut menu, click the desired intersection control. To do so, you need not select Conflict Areas on the network object sidebar. The shortcut menu will automatically show the intersection control options available. Depending on the current right of way of the conflict area, these can be the following:

  • Set Status to 2 waits for 1:
  • Second link is highlighted in red: Minor flow (yield)
  • First link is highlighted in green: Major flow (right of way)
  • Set Status to 1 waits for 2:
  • First link is highlighted in red: Minor flow (yield)
  • Second link is green: Major flow (right of way)
  • Set Status to Undetermined: Both links turn red: For branching conflicts, so that vehicles can "see" each other. There is no intersection control, as vehicles simply remain in their original sequence.
  • Set Status to Passive: Both links turn amber: No right of way specified
