Discharge at signal controller with its number, signal group with its number, and in parentheses data collection point with number

Data block

One line for each signal controller cycle

• Column 1: Simulation seconds at start of green time. If a red-amber time > 0 is defined at the signal group, this counts as green time.
  
• Column 2: Time difference between start of green time (beginning of red-amber) and arrival of first vehicle at measuring point
• Column 3: Time need: time gap between the front end of vehicle 1 (the first vehicle in the queue) and the front end of vehicle 2
• All other columns contain the time needs of all subsequent vehicles according to their positions in the queue.
• The end of the green phase is shown by the position of the parentheses. The numbers in parentheses show:
• the number of vehicles passing the measuring point during the green phase
• the average time needs of these vehicles. Both values are determined without taking vehicle 1 into account, because its time needs depend on the distance between the stop line and the measuring point.
• Values after the parentheses were measured for vehicles that crossed the stop line after the green phase (during yellow or red).
• Fourth-to-last line: vehicle position number in the queue (index number) for each cycle
• Third-to-last line: average time need for the vehicle position concerned
• Next-to-last line: measured number of vehicles at this position. If saturation is not present for some green phases, smaller numbers are measured for higher index numbers.
• Last line: total number of vehicles (except those in the first position) and their time needs (measured over all cycles).
