Testing logics without traffic flow simulation

You can test the response of a signal control logic to several detector type constellations, without actually modeling traffic flows.

You have the following options to generate detector types:

• Add types to the detectors.
• Run recorded or created macros.

The Test function is useful, if you want to check for bugs in newly developed signal control logics. This is particularly true when they contain functions that are used only sporadically.

The following detector types are distinguished:

Detector type	Description
Single actuation	Increasing impulse (front end of vehicle) and decreasing impulse (rear end of vehicle) within one second
Repeated actuation	Increasing and decreasing impulse every second, equivalent to a single actuation every time step.
Continuous actuation	Single impulse increase, impulse decrease only after explicit termination of actuation.
