APPENDIX A: SIMULATION MODE
SIMULATION MODE can be used to demonstrate the INTERSECTOR, confirm proper
installation, or learn how to set up zones and use features. For first-time INTERSECTOR
installers, SIMULATION MODE can be used to gain an understanding of the sensor
setup and some of the sensor’s operating characteristics.
To enter SIMULATION MODE, follow these steps:
Start with MAIN PAGE.
1. Click on SETUP.
2. Enter 1 for SIMULATION MODE ON and click on SIMULATION MODE ON. This
enables SIMULATION MODE.
3. Click on BACK.
4. Click on ZONE SETTING. When this page loads you will see one vehicle pass
through the grid.
a. Note the ID of the object increments by one each time.
b. Vehicles are sequentially numbered from 0 to 63 and then the numbering loops
back to 0.
c. You can STOP the display to copy X and Y locations to any Zone. Vehicle
tracking is fully working while the display is stopped.
d. You can set up a zone for this object manually. Note the zone turning yellow
when you change any parameter on the zone. You must click on SET ZONE
DATA or any changes are lost.
e. To use AUTO DETECT click on the check box when the vehicle is at the top of
the grid. Note that as it goes through the stop bar the screen will freeze and
update the angle. It will stay at zero since the vehicle is going vertically. The
number 20 is the distance in front and behind the stop bar which
INTERSECTOR uses to calculate and correct for angle of travel of cars. In
other words it looks at Y =120 and Y=80 and using the X value for each point
determines the offset angle to make cars go through straight. The value 20
can be reduced or increased but this is a good starting point. 10 may work
better for smaller intersections.
f. The zone will begin working when you enter the X dimension for this vehicle.
Note it is typically -16 feet for Zone 1. Enter this number (-16) for Zone 1 X cell.
Click on SET ZONE DATA. Note the vehicle will go through the center of the
zone now and Zone 1 counter will increment each time the vehicle goes
through the zone. OPTO OUTPUT 1 will also turn red indicating detection.
5. Go back to SIMULATION MODE ON and enter 16. Click on back and then click on
ZONE SETTING.
6. Now you will see 16 vehicles going through the grid. NOTE: in SIMULATION
MODE, Delay Before Max Time is not valid and the objects stay on the screen
forever.
7. Now we will shift the grid to show how to center the vehicles and then expand the
grid to see zones in detail. Enter 100 for Move Left Or Right. Note the screen
shifts right. The grids shift right also.
