How to Program a Shuttle Signal Plan (Radio Mode - Old Firmware)

Synopsis: Once your TLDs are synchronized, you will be able to log in and create a signal plan for your work zone. It is recommended that you drive through the work zone yourself and calculate the time it takes to complete the run in order to have the most accurate times possible.

• Level: Easy
• Time required: 3-5 minutes
• Additional equipment required: None

Note: By pressing between both arrows, a keyboard will pop up and allow you to enter times manually

Minimum green: The shortest amount of time the signal displays green for a particular traffic movement.

Maximum green (used with vehicle detector only): The maximum amount of time the signal can display green after any call for an opposing phase.

Passage (used with vehicle detector only): The amount of time by which the minimum green time is increased for each detector actuation by a vehicle. The green time extends until the maximum green time is reached.

Yellow time: The time during which the light will stay yellow (usually is left at 3 seconds by default).

Red time: The time it will take to clear the work zone before the other light turns green. It is recommended to put more red time than needed to avoid any collisions or roadblocks.

Activation Methods

Minimum Recall: The default activation method, will play the phases automatically

Call: Will activate using sensors (vehicle detectors)

Preemption: Used for emergency vehicles

Note: When your signal plan starts, it is normal that both lights start off as red. This is due to the start-up mode selected in the initial pairing procedure. After running one cycle, your signal plan will activate as intended.
