Import CORSIM Files, Import HCS Files

TRANSYT-7F can now import any CORSIM file that contains a signalized intersection.  The following CORSIM data can now be imported: pre-timed intersections, semi-actuated intersections, fully-actuated intersections, multiple time period data files, and two-way stop (TWSC) intersections.  The user can choose whether or not to import fully-actuated intersections and TWSC intersections.  After importing a CORSIM file, TRANSYT-7F provides numerous helpful features for further analysis including:
  • direct CORSIM optimization
  • conversion to macroscopic TRANSYT analysis
  • post-processing of CORSIM's own simulation results
  • time-space diagrams that reflect CORSIM's own signal timing
  • formatted reports that reflect CORSIM's own simulation results
  • superimpose CORSIM's own intersection-wide control delay and level of service on the Map View
Highway Capacity Software (HCS) data files can now be loaded directly into TRANSYT-7F, provided that they are available in *.XHS (XML for HCS+ Signals) format, or *.XHI (XML for HCS+ Interchanges) format.  There are two possible methods for loading HCS files into TRANSYT-7F.  The first method involves simply loading an HCS file by selecting File > Open from TRANSYT-7F.  This will automatically generate a corresponding TRANSYT-7F data file for the HCS intersection(s).  The second method involves appending HCS intersection data to an existing TRANSYT-7F (*.TIN) input file.  First, it is necessary to open the existing TIN file with TRANSYT-7F.  Next, it is necessary to select File > Open and open an existing file of type *.XHS, which will enable the "New Node Number" dialog box.  This is the node number that will be used inside the TIN file.  After selecting the new node number, the new data will automatically be added to the TIN file.
