2. In the schematic view, select the Lanes entry or the Crosswalks entry in the drop-down list.
3. Select the desired signal group in the list view under Signal groups.
The signal group is allocated to the lane turn or crosswalk.
Note: You can check the allocations of a signal group if you select the Signal groups option in the Geometry view, and open the respective selection window under Lane turns and Crosswalks for the desired signal group (Editing signal group attributes). |
Allocating signal groups to lanes or legs
You can also allocate signal groups to lane turns by allocating them to all lane turns of a leg or lane in one step.

2. In the schematic view, select the Lanes or the Legs entry in the drop-down list.
3. Select the desired signal group in the list view under Signal groups.
The signal group is allocated to all lane turns of the selected lane or leg.
Displaying signal group attributes

Name of the signal group |
Green time start |
Green time start in seconds 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. |
Green time end |
Green time end in seconds |
The following properties are always displayed in the list view of the geometry if you select the Signal groups:
Element |
