Traffic Control

Overview and Key Concepts

The traffic control object is used to control traffic in a given area of a travel network. You build a traffic controlled area by connecting network nodes to the traffic control object. These NetworkNodes then become members of the traffic controlled area. Any path between two nodes that are both members of the same traffic control object is designated as a traffic controlled path, and travelers are only allowed onto that path if given permission by the traffic control object. The traffic control object can be in a mutual exclusion mode, where it only lets a certain number of travelers into the area at any given time, or it can use un-timed traffic modes to only allow travelers onto certain path sections at once.
