This is the 5th step in defining a NEMA control using the VS NEMA Wizard.

It is used for defining all timing and phase parameters. It consists of two sub-pages:

Timing

Use the timing sub-panel for basic parameters about a full cycle:

  • Cycle Time

  • Offset according to a central clock

  • Phase green for each standard NEMA phase from 1 to 8

  • Clearance time between each pair of phases.

All values are in seconds.

Phase Parameter

The phase parameters define the timing details for each phase, including overlaps:


Permissive periods: phase parameter as list view

  • Standard Phases: the standard NEMA phases 1 to 8 as shown on the timing panel, using the IVT parameters
  • Pedestrians: the maximum four pedestrian overlaps, using the pedestrian parameters
  • Right Turns: the maximum four right turn overlaps, using the IVT parameters as well
