Map View

Main Page > Technical Documentation > Getting Started > Map View

The Map View screen provides a graphical display of the network. After a successful simulation run, this screen also displays the animation of the simulation results.

The tools in the following toolbar provide network display resizing options and the option to toggle on/off the display of the network nodes.



Press to zoom in and press  to zoom out. Press to display the entire network within the Map View screen boundaries. The scroll wheel of a mouse can also be used to zoom the network display in and out. To reposition the network within the Map View screen, hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse as appropriate. The Map View screen scroll bars can also be used for this purpose.

The "Show Network Nodes" button is used to toggle on/off the display of the nodes on the network, such as shown in the Figure below.



For single intersection networks, two quick editing options are provided in the "Single Intersection Quick Data Edit Functions" toolbar.



The "Set Traffic Data" option loads a dialog that allows the entry link volumes and turning percentages at the intersection approach links to be revised. The selected entry link and approach link in the respective table is highlighted in the network display.



The "Set Phasing & timing" option loads the signal timing screen and bypasses the traffic control dialog. The "Timing Plan Status" setting indicates if signal timing data are loaded into memory.



The Map View is also used to display the animation of a successful simulation run. Information about viewing the animation can be found here.
