'''TRANSYT-7F''' (tm) is a traffic simulation and signal timing optimization program. The primary application of TRANSYT-7F is signal timing design and optimization. TRANSYT-7F features genetic algorithm optimization of cycle length, phasing sequence, splits, and offsets. TRANSYT-7F combines a detailed optimization process (including genetic algorithm, multi-period, and direct [[CORSIM]] optimization) with a detailed macroscopic simulation model (including platoon dispersion, queue spillback, and actuated control simulation).

TRANSYT-7F (tm) is a traffic simulation and signal timing optimization program. The primary application of TRANSYT-7F is signal timing design and optimization. TRANSYT-7F features genetic algorithm optimization of cycle length, phasing sequence, splits, and offsets. TRANSYT-7F combines a detailed optimization process (including genetic algorithm, multi-period, and direct CORSIM optimization) with a detailed macroscopic simulation model (including platoon dispersion, queue spillback, and actuated control simulation).

History

TRANSYT-7F is an acronym for TRAffic Network StudY Tool, version 7F. The original TRANSYT model was developed by the Transport Research Laboratory (formerly Transport and Road Research Laboratory) in the United Kingdom. TRANSYT, version 7 was "Americanized" for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA); thus the "7F." The TRANSYT-7F program and the original TRANSYT-7F manual were developed for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the National Signal Timing Optimization Project (NSTOP) by the University of Florida Transportation Research Center (TRC). TRANSYT-7F continues to undergo further development, and is currently maintained by the University of Florida's McTrans Center.

Capabilities

Simulation of existing conditions and future conditions
Multi-period optimization, hill-climb optimization
Lane-by-lane analysis, actuated control analysis
Direct CORSIM optimization, CORSIM post-processing
One-touch CORSIM animation, one-touch HCS analysis
Optimization based on a wide variety of objective functions
Explicit simulation of platoon dispersion, queue spillback, and queue spillover
Flexibility in accepting U.S. customary units or metric units, right-hand drive or left-hand drive
Genetic algorithm optimization of cycle length, phasing sequence, splits, and offsets
