Signal Model
The signal model implementation consists of several components:
- A SignalSystemsManager instance as central point in the model, providing its components and
with pointers to each other. Furthermore it provides access to the MATSim EventsManager.
- An implementation for fixed-time signal control, see below
- One or several implementations of the SignalController that may contain algorithms for
signal control.
- A logic to show a red-amber and a amber phase when a signal group changes from red to green.
- A factory, i.e. an implementation of SignalSystemsFactory to create the components of the model.
- An implementation of the
Signal interface that serves as connection between
the org.matsim.contrib.signals.model package and the
org.matsim.contrib.signals.mobsim package.
Currently there are two implementations:
DatabasedSignal for a Signal based on the given data.SignalImpl for a Signal created in initialization code
Fixed-time Signal Control
Fixed-time or also plan based signal control uses the attributes
- cycle time
- offset
- onset
- dropping
Whereby onset is the second the signal group starts its switch to green within a cycle time. This may
first trigger a red-amber phase if amber times are defined. At second dropping within the cycle the switch
to red is triggered. If amber times are defined red is preceded by a phase where the signal group is shows
amber. The offset is the second onset and dropping are shifted in respect to the global simulation time.
