Editing signal controllers in the signal controller editor Vissig

 

Note: This function is only provided with the Vissig add-on activated ( Enabling or disabling add-ons ).

 

Vissig is an external program which enables you to manage complex signal control data. In the process, existing signal control data can be converted into new external controllers. The external signal controller data is saved in a *.sig file. When opening a version file and when determining node impedance via ICA, the data is read from the Vissig file and temporarily converted into Visum data.

After editing a signal controller in Vissig, it is no longer possible to edit the attributes of this signal controller in Visum. This is only possible if you re-convert the signal controller into a Visum controller again (Converting a Vissig signal controller to a Visum signal controller).

In the signal controller editor, you can for example edit data as follows:

• Edit green times graphically
• Edit stages and display and edit the stage allocations of signal groups graphically
• Time-varying allocation of different signal programs to different time intervals at identical nodes
• Manage complex signal controllers located in the Visum network
• Edit signal control data for a later Vissim export

Note: In the directory C:\Users\Public\Documents\PTV Vision\PTV Visum 2021/Examples, you can find examples of use on this topic. The PrT Vissig example shows how signal times for different times of day can be saved and applied with the external program Vissig.

You open the signal controller editor as follows:

1.  In the geometry view, add a signal controller of the Vissig type for the desired node (Creating a signal controller).

2.  Click the Edit signal program data button.

The signal controller editor opens and you can edit the signal program data.
