Task 1: Change the speed limit of your intersection

  1. Create a TSA – Traffic Study Area with limits as close as possible to the intersection (allowing the demand zones to display).

  2. Right-click on the canvas to open the Traffic Analyst Panel.

  3. Zoom and move the canvas to get a view that allows you to see all the zones as close as possible.
  4. Select the View tab on the righthand side menu, create new, and rename as you consider.

  5. Make sure you have the Edit mode selected at the bottom of the View tab.

  6. Switch off the Imageslayer under the Layer tab on the righthand side menu. The Highlighter column represents the active Layer selection. Images appear as Active on the below image. The cell will be black if the layer is switched off.

  7. Select all lanes by continuously pressing Control and double-clicking over the lanes or continuously pressing Control and wheel-clicking over the lanes. Select only the lanes approaching the intersection.

  8. Right-click over any area selected and select Adjust.

  9. On the Adjust menu, edit the whole Route Speed column to a high-speed value, i.e. 140 Kph.
  10. Click Apply and OK.
  11. Run the simulation we were working on first in TAP and then in InfraWorks.
  12. You should see clashes between vehicles or vehicles stopping in the middle of the intersection.
  13. Repeat the process by changing the speed to a low-speed value, i.e. 40 Kph, and run the simulations again.
