If NO, add the demand phases in this stage (or the stage itself if stage is
demanded) to “Phases & stages to Get right of way”. Then try next stage in
cyclic order (starting at Step 1).
5. Will more demanded phases be serviced by this stage than in previously
“Suggested Stage”?
If YES, set “Suggested Stage” equal to this stage.
If NO, add the demanded phases in this stage (or the stage itself if stage is
demanded) to “Phases & Stages to Get right of way”. Then try next stage in
cyclic order (starting at Step 1).
At the end of the decision-making process the “Suggested Stage” will either be
a new stage other than the current stage, or it will have remained as the current
stage.
If the suggested stage is other than the current stage, the controller then checks
the “Stage movement restriction” table appropriate to the mode, to see if it can
make the move, see below:
If the move from the current stage to the “Suggested Stage” is prohibited, the
controller will stay in the current stage until the decision-making process comes
up with a different “Suggested Stage” to move to.
If the move from the current stage to “Suggested Stage” is an Ignore move, the
controller will immediately return to the decision-making process, it will
remove from the equation the demanded phases which would have been served
by the previously “Suggested Stage” (so that process does not come up with
same “Suggested Stage” again), and then it will start again searching for a
stage to move to.
If the move from the current stage to the “Suggested Stage” has an alternative
stage move specified, the controller will move to the alternative stage and then
restart the decision-making process.
If the move from the current stage to the “Suggested Stage” is unrestricted, the
controller will move to the “Suggested Stage” and then restart the decision-
making process.
2.5.1 Effects of Modes other than V.A. on Stage Change Algorithm
In V.A. mode, the stage change algorithm is allowed to suggest a stage based on the
influences current at the time without any manipulating of those influences.
