3.6.1 Minimum Green Thresholds
Minimum Green times have range limits for each phase (i.e. each phase has an upper
and lower minimum green time associated with it.)
3.6.2 Intergreen Thresholds
Intergreen times have a common maximum limit but there is an individual lower limit
associated with each intergreen time.
3.7 CONDITIONS OF APPEARANCE
If more than one phase is allocated to a stage, it may be required to make the
appearance of some of them conditional so that they will only appear if demanded. The
condition will apply in all the stages to which the phase is allocated.
There are four different types of appearance. The normal one is Appearance Type 0.
3.7.1 Appearance Type 0
This is the normal type of condition with the phase always appearing whenever its
associated stage runs. If more than one Type 0 phase is allocated to the stage they will
all appear regardless of which phase was demanded. In the intersection illustrated in
Figure 21.2 and Figure 21.3, Phases A and B will always appear whenever Stage 1
runs, Phases B and C when Stage 2 runs, Phases E and F when Stage 3 runs and
Phases F and H when Stage 4 runs.
3.7.2 Appearance Type 1
The phase will only appear whenever its associated stage runs if a demand for it is
inserted before the start of the interstage. If the demand is inserted after this point it
will be stored and can be configured using a special software algorithm either:
a) to be ignored if there are other demands present and not influence the
next stage change and then to be considered for subsequent stage
changes; but if there are no other demands it will cause a stage change
to a stage which honours the demands.
b) Not to be ignored and influence the next stage change.
The algorithm may be accessed using the handset command PMV.
The normal use for this type of condition is for a pedestrian phase as illustrated in
Figure 21.2 & Figure 21.3 with Phase G. If, for example, Phase G hadn’t appeared in
Stage 1 and was subsequently demanded, it would then appear in Stage 2 when it runs,
although under normal circumstances the demand for Phase G wouldn’t cause the
stage change.
