4. DEMANDS AND EXTENSIONS
4.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Demands may be inserted for phases or stages, but extensions may only be inserted for
phases. Demands will only be acted upon when the relevant phase or stage is not
active, whereas extensions will only be acted upon when the relevant phase is active.
4.2 TYPES OF DEMANDS
4.2.1
Latched
The demand remains active until the phase or stage is served.
All priority demands are latched irrespective of the current mode. In order to provide
an unlatched facility special conditioning is required (see Section 9.4 for reference).
4.2.2
Unlatched
The demand is cleared if the demand condition ceases before the phase or stage is
served.
Any maximum green timers started by an unlatched demand will be reset if all of the
opposing demands are cleared.
4.3 ORIGINS OF DEMANDS AND EXTENSIONS
4.3.1
On-Street Detection Equipment
This refers to the approach detectors at the intersection. Figure 21.7 illustrates the
requirements of the detectors for the inter-section in section 21.
4.3.2
Pedestrian Push-Buttons
These insert latched demands and also illuminate the WAIT indicators of their
respective pedestrian phases.
If it is required, it is possible to illuminate the WAIT indicator without inserting a
demand or conversely insert a demand without illuminating the WAIT indicator.
In the example in Figure 21.7 push-buttons 1 & 2 are required to demand pedestrian
Phase G.
