PASSER™ II-02, Version 1.0

The Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) has released an upgrade for Microsoft® Windows® of this popular program for timing signalized arterials. PASSER™ II develops optimal timing plans for providing through progression along signalized arterials. PASSER™ II-02 has a new interface similar to PASSER™ III-98.  Also, it uses an enhanced version of the optimization routine provided by its predecessor, PASSER™ II-90.  The input data requirements have not changed; however, unlike the previous release, it preserves the lane configurations supplied by the user. This is achieved by introducing a new format for the input data file. Existing users need not worry because the program can read old input data files and will automatically convert them to the new format.

Features:

PASSER™ II-02 user interface provides several new features. Because a large user-base exists, the old output report from PASSER™ II-90 (called “Classic” now) can be selectively displayed and printed.   The following is a list of features for PASSER™ II-02:

  • Provides a revised saturation flow calculation module.
  • Provides a summary of all cycle lengths analyzed.
  • Allows the user to view output for any selected cycle length.
  • Outputs reports in rich text format and launches Microsoft® WinWord for viewing these.
  • New time-space diagrams in HTML format, and viewed by automatically launching Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
  • A Help facility.
