CHAPTER 11 TASKBUILDER SUB-WINDOWS

Done Button – The Done button saves the current mappings and closes the sub-win-

dow, returning you to the Trip Time sub-window. The defined columns from the tem-

plate will be visible in the destination column list.

Trip Time Sub-window

The Trip Time sub-window assigns sensors and lanes to a linear route, along with the ap-

propriate distances between them. A route represents a common traveling distance (e.g.

from downtown to the airport, or from a roadside message sign to a highway exit). Each

route element represents a set of sensors or lanes from which speed data will be obtained.

Using the distances between them, a trip time will be obtained based on current condition.

The appearance of the Trip Time sub-window differs depending on the Key Detector ID

option chosen in the Trip Time Template—either Sensor Only, Sensor + Lane/Approach or

Wavetronix SmartSensor.

Sensor Only Trip Times

When Sensor Only is selected, as shown in Figure 11.6, the main list in the upper left corner

shows all sensors from the dataset, using the identifier specified in the Sensor ID mapping.

If other names were defined in the Trip Time Template, they will be available in the drop-

down list immediately above the sensor ID list. Choosing a different name from the drop-

down list will cause the list to use the name-fields defined in the mapping; these names will

make it easier to identify each sensor.

You can add a sensor from the list to the current route by clicking the Create New Com-

ponent button. A new trip-time element will be added to the route display at the bottom

of the screen.

Selecting an element on the route display will highlight orange. The sensors assigned to that

element will be shown in the list on the right side of the screen. If a name other than Sensor

ID is chosen, the sensors of the selected element will also use that name in its display.
