The green time start and the green time end of the signal group are in the interval [0, round trip time]. The respective value results from the green times of the stages in the case of a stage-based signal controller. If the value 0 is specified as green time start and green time end for a signal group-based signal controller, the signal group shows permanent red, and permanent green for any other but the same value.
