Defining priority rules

Add a start section for a priority rule and one or more destination sections on the links concerned:

• Start section (stop line): a priority rule on the conflict link, on which vehicles are required to wait.
• One or more destination sections (conflict markers) on the conflict link, on which vehicles have the right of way. By default, its position is set to 1 to 2 m before the end of the conflict area. This is where the minimum clearance and time gaps must be opposite to the movement direction.

Notes:   You can specify that you need not press the Ctrl key when adding network objects (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object). For some network objects there are windows in which the attributes of a network object can be defined and edited. There are lists for this, for all network objects. You can choose whether you want to open a window, a list or neither of the two for the definition of network objects in the Network Editor (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object).

1.  On the network object sidebar, click Priority Rules.

2.  Hold down the Ctrl key and right-click on the desired position of the stop line on the conflict link, on which vehicles should wait.

3.  Release the keys.

By default, a purple bar is inserted. If for this start section you want to insert multiple destination sections, carry out the following steps accordingly. Thereby you can insert a destination section and subsequently define its attributes.

If you would like to insert a destination section for this start section, execute the next steps only once.

4.  On the desired link, point the mouse pointer to the desired position of the first destination section.

On the edge of the link, which you are pointing to with the mouse pointer, a black arrow is shown in the direction of travel. A colored bar shows the possible position of the destination section. Thereby you can select links from the different types of links, which are added in the next step of the destination section.

5.  Hold down the Ctrl key and right-click on this position.

6.  Release the keys.

A green bar is added for the destination section by default. The Priority Rule window opens.

7.  Edit the attributes (Attributes of priority rules).

8.  If desired, go to the Network Editor to adjust the min. clearance (Editing the minimum clearance in the network editor).

9.  Confirm with OK.

The window closes. The attributes are saved in the list Priority Rules. You can add additional destination sections in links or stop the addition.

10.  If you would like to add additional destination sections, on the desired link, point the mouse pointer to the desired position of the next destination section, and repeat the steps.

11.  If you do not want to add any additional destination sections, in the Network editor, click in an empty area.
