Defining an intergreen matrix

Intergreen is the time required to elapse between the green end of a clearing flow and the green start of an entering flow. By keeping the intergreen, you ensure that the clearing flow does not conflict with the entering flow.

Note: Conflicting flows and intergreens cannot be calculated. When intergreen data is entered, there are no checks, e.g. for the symmetry of intergreen matrices.

1.  Open the signal controller editor (Opening and using the signal controller editor).

2.  Double-click the desired signal controller in the Navigator.

3.  In the Navigator, click Intergreen matrices.

The intergreen matrices list opens.

If no intergreen matrix has been defined yet, only the column titles are displayed.

4.  Right-click in the list.

The shortcut menu opens.

5.  Click the desired entry.

Element Description
Add

Add new intergreen matrix

Duplicate Copy intergreen matrix and insert with a new number
Edit Change data of the selected intergreen matrix
Delete Delete selected intergreen matrix

To sort a column of the list, click the column header.

6.  Make the desired changes:

Element Description
No Number of the intergreen matrix
Name Name of the intergreen matrix
Default The default intergreen matrix selected under Stage assignment is marked with an x. Double-click into the Default column to open the respective editing view.

You can assign an intergreen matrix individually to each signal group-based signal program. In the Navigator, under Stage assignments, you can choose an intergreen matrix as default (Editing stage assignment). The program then takes the intergreen matrix into account to create stages, stage transitions, and stage-based signal programs.

Changes are saved when you close the SC editor.

7.  Edit the intergreen matrix (Editing intergreen matrices).
