TranEd Reader

Detailed Features & Capabilities

The Reader provides the following features:

• A Network Diagram showing the layout of nodes and links in the TRANSYT model.
• Signal information displayed in a sensible modern-signals aware manner and also as TRANSYT cards.
• Shows full information on intergreens allowing easy auditing.
• The ability to view stages graphically and easily see the links running in each stage (similar to the  LINSIG Stage View but for links not phases).
• Flexible graphical reporting of information.
• New data displays showing queue lengths and traffic flow bandwidths.
• A completely new Report Generator which produces reports in Rich Text Format (rtf), a format used by all common word processors such as MS Word and WordPerfect. The TranEd Reader can produce and print any report formats which have been pre-configured by a TranEd files author.
• Network annotation can be included on the network diagram by the TranEd files author.
• For traditional TRANSYT users the Reader can display the TRANSYT network as the underlying TRANSYT cards.
• A signals animation view that shows each link as red or green as the signal sequence is animated.
• Time-Distance diagrams showing the movement of traffic along pre-defined routes through the network.
• Support for multiple traffic flow groups to allow for example the AM + PM Peaks to be defined in the same file and easily switched between.
• Graphical depictions of the TRANSYT graphs.

• New TranEd models cannot be created with the Reader.
