Custom

Network creation in Custom mode is done in Map View. After selecting the 'Custom' option in the New Project dialog, the program will switch to Map View.





Link Summary Screen The Table View screen (see Figure below) contains a listing of each link comprising the network.



To add a link to the network, press the 'Add Link' button. This will load the Link Data screen (as shown below).

Select the link type - Entry - Connector - Exit



The upstream and downstream node number fields will initially be populated with values, as follows: - Entry Link: the upstream node number will be +1 greater than the currently largest entry node number (e.g., 701 -> 702). The downstream node number will be +1 greater than the currently largest connector node number (e.g., 1 -> 2). - Connector Link: the upstream node number will be +1, and the downstream node number +2, greater than the currently largest connector node number. - Exit Link: the upstream node number will be +1 greater than the currently largest connector node number (e.g., 2 -> 3). The downstream node number will be +1 greater than the currently largest exit node number (e.g., 801 -> 802).

Lane Data

Connecting Lanes

This dialog is used to specify the upstream and downstream connecting ID's for each lane. An example of how to specify this coding can be found here.

Control Points



Traffic Data

Traffic data is entered for entry links. The applicable links have a yellow-colored 'Edit' traffic data button. This button loads the following input screen.



In this screen, the entry flow rate and fleet type percentages are input. To save your inputs before exiting the input screen, press the “Save Changes” button. Values from the fleet percentages table can be copied from one input screen to another by selecting “Copy Values to Clipboard” in one screen and selecting “Paste Values from Clipboard” in another.
