9.4.3(e) Priority Units Inhibited (Priority Mode Only)
When a Priority Phase gains ROW, it is possible to inhibit specified Priority Units
(including the one at ROW) for a specified time.
9.4.3(f) Revertive Priority Demands To Start Inhibit Timer (Priority Mode Only)
This facility allows the Priority Units inhibited facility to be activated when a Priority
Phase gains ROW due to a Revertive Priority Demand being present.
9.4.3(g) Allowed VA Demands For Phases
When a Priority Demand is being actioned all VA demands are normally disregarded
until after Priority or Emergency Vehicle mode have finished.
However, it is possible to specify phases, which appear cyclically before the Priority
phase, which may have any VA demands present to be actioned before the Priority
Demand.
The specified phases will only run for their minimum green period regardless of any
VA extensions present.
If the Priority Phase is a pedestrian phase, Allowed VA Demands should not be used.
(N.B. This facility is not compatible with priority phases of type 2 appearance, i.e. if
the stage in which the priority phase appears is active when a priority demand is
received, the priority phase appears immediately. At the same time unwanted “enforced
VA demands” may be entered, which may cause unnecessary timing of priority
maximum and unnecessary stage changes when the priority phase terminates.)
9.4.3(h) Enforce VA Demands For Phases
This facility works on the same basis as Allowed VA Demands for Phases except that
VA demands for the specified phases are inserted to ensure that the specified phases
will run.
(N.B. This facility is not compatible with priority phases of type 2 appearance, i.e. if
the stage in which the priority phase appears is active when a priority demand is
received, the priority phase appears immediately. At the same time unwanted “enforced
VA demands” are entered, which may cause unnecessary timing of priority maximum
and unnecessary stage changes when the priority phase terminates.)
9.4.3(i) Monitor Time
The SVD’s may not operate for long periods due to their normal use and so are not
considered for the Detector Fault Monitor (DFM). (See section 15.9).
In order to monitor the input to a Priority Unit, a Monitor Timer is used. The
operation of the Monitor Timer is different when in Priority mode to that in
Emergency Vehicle mode.
