The signal systems module provides functionality to simulate traffic lights with MATSim. It is recommended to use a nightly build that is younger than 04-19-2011, i.e. revision 15081.

The starting point of the documentation is

• http://www.matsim.org/javadoc/org/matsim/signalsystems/package-summary.html

Note that there are links to continuative documentation at the bottom of the package-summary.html www page.

Nightly builds younger than 04-21-2011 contain a tutorial that shows you how to set up a traffic light scenario. The network and traffic light configuration of the turorial is shown in the slides attached to this page. The network and code can be found in the folder tutorial/unsupported/example90TrafficLights in the nightly build. The code examples are divided into several classes:

• CreateSimpleTrafficSignalScenario.java: Uses traffic signals without lanes and creates the traffic lights at nodes 3, 4, 7 and 8.
• CreateTrafficSignalScenarioWithLanes.java: Uses traffic signals with lanes and creates the traffic lights at nodes 2 and 5.
