As well as modelling the effects of traffic signals LinSig also optimises signal timings to reduce delay or increase capacity at a junction or group of interlinked junctions. HistoryLinSig was developed in the UK by Brian Simmonite in the 1980s who went on to set up JCT Consultancy. The software has been updated a number of times during its life. DOS VersionsLinSig was first written in the mid-1980s as a DOS-based tool for analysing and optimising single traffic signal junctions. The use of the software spread mainly by word of mouth within the traffic signals profession becoming widely used by signal engineers. The LinSig traffic modelling was based on standard 'Y' value hand calculations which were familiar to engineers and was widely used at the time for manually calculating traffic signal capacities and delays. This allowed the results of the software to be easily checked against existing manual calculations. LinSig for Windows Version 1 - Released March 2000LinSig for Windows Version 1 retained the same modelling capabilities as the earlier DOS versions but provided a Windows interface. This version also introduced graphical diagrams into the software showing information such as the junction's lane layout and the phasing and staging arrangements. LinSig Version 2 - Released April 2006LinSig Version 2 was the first version of LinSig to allow the modelling of more than one junction. A new network traffic model was introduced which allows the coordination of closely spaced traffic signal junctions to be modelled. LinSig Version 3 - Released June 2009LinSig 3 allows the user to model larger networks and provides new network modelling tools such as delay-based traffic assignment and entropy-based trip matrix estimation. Using this software it is possible to model signalised roundabouts. (Helped by the FlowRound software) Modelling BasisLinSig uses a development of the Cyclic Flow Profile traffic model which has been used extensively in the UK for many years. The Cyclic Flow Profile Model simulates the interaction between closely space junctions allowing coordinated signal timings to be modelled. Typical Input dataLinSig uses standard input data such as counted traffic flows, traffic signal controller phases and stages, intergreen times, saturation flows, lane lengths. Pedestrian ModellingPedestrian delays at signal junctions can be modelled for individual or linked crossings. Signal OptimisationLinSig optimises signal timings either to maximise traffic capacity or minimise delay at a junction. Network ModellingLinSig can model and optimise networks of several junctions as well as individual junctions. It is designed to model small groups of junctions in detail rather than larger networks covering entire towns. Delay Based AssignmentLinSig uses a traditional user equilibrium assignment to assign traffic to routes through the network based on delays calculated by the network model. Matrix EstimationLinSig provides a matrix estimation facility to generate a network wide trip matrix from junction turning counts. This uses a combination of traditional entropy-based estimation methods together with customisations targeted at estimating matrices in smaller networks. Alternative SolutionsThe main competitor within the UK marketplace is Transyt. ReferencesFurther reading
