Schematic

This is a simplified diagram of your carriageways in grid form, with each carriageway allocated a row, and each section allocated a column along that row.

Each radar is represented by a radar icon and placed along the carriageway grid to replicate their placement on the real carriageway.

You can change the size of the schematic by scrolling your mouse, and you can Click+Drag to change the viewable areas of the carriageway.

If the schematic has been reduced in size so that the moving targets can no longer be displayed, then the schematic will highlight sections with a person and/or target icon with the number of these tracks next to them.

Live

The Live screen displays the flow of traffic along the carriageways in real time. If the carriageways are configured with separate lanes then these will be separated by white dashed lines. The direction of the traffic is marked using arrows similar to those on the PPI Map.

Representations of moving vehicles / targets and any stopped vehicles are displayed along the carriageway as they would on the PPI Map within the main ClearWay™ UI:

Clicking on a section of a carriageway will highlight that section in pink and will open an info panel with the carriageway name and section number. It includes details of the number of tracks, vehicles and large vehicles currently in that section, with their average speed in m/s, plus the radar coverage for that section:

There will also be alarm and queue indicators. The bell icon will change colour from white to red for any section-based alarms for the selected section. If the queue icon turns from green to orange, then that signifies if there is a queue detected in the section.

Double-clicking on a section will synchronise with the map to focus onto that area, providing that the map is selected for the lower display:

This screen also displays any alarms in real time. For example, if there are warnings or threats given along a section or sections, then any affected lane/section blocks on the grid will be highlighted in red:

Red dotted outlines on a carriageway section signifies that there is no radar coverage for that section. The icons representing the affected radar will also change from green (normal coverage) to orange (partial coverage) or red (no coverage).

If Traffic Analysis sections have been configured in the ClearWay™ UI (please refer to:) then these will be displayed on the schematic:

Live Alarm Panel

Beneath the Schematic area there is a panel to display interactive icons representing live alarm or queue incidents.

In the example below the two icons on the left-hand side show the number of live incidents (12 alarms and 3 queues), and the individual icons grouped on their right then display each incident in time order.

Hovering over an individual icon will show the Locate icon and details regarding the alarm. Clicking on an individual icon will synchronise with the map to focus onto that area, providing that the map is selected for the lower display. It will also synchronise with the Schematic to focus on the affected lane/section blocks on the grid.

Schematic Edit Controls

Edit: The pen icon allows you to edit the schematic.

Home: This icon will return the schematic to it’s home position and scale.

The default layout of the schematic has approximate placements of objects such as radar and POI’s. To allow you more flexibility, when you click on the grey pen icon then you are in edit mode allowing you to move these features by using your mouse to drag them into the desired place.

Reset Selected Entity: This will reset the selected object on the schematic to where it was before it was edited and saved.

Reset All Entities: This will reset all entities on the schematic to where they were before any were edited and saved.

Save: This option allows you to save your edits.

Cancel: This allows you to cancel any edits that have not been saved.

Edit: The pen icon turns green when you are in Edit mode, and is grey when not in edit mode.

For example, I want to make some changes to the Schematic and have clicked they grey pen icon to be in Edit mode:

Here I have moved Carriageway B and two of the radar:

Clicking the Save icon will save the changes:

Maintenance Mode

Sometimes there may be a situation where a carriageway needs to have road maintenance work carried out within certain sections. If this has been currently configured within the main ClearWay™ application UI, then maintenance mode icons will be displayed on the schematic and the map as in the example below:

There are three types of road maintenance icons displayed:

Maintenance, Maintenance with Pedestrian and Contraflow.

Please refer to for more information regarding Maintenance Mode configuration in the main ClearWay™ application UI.

Schematic Controls

The Schematic Controls gives you insight into the speed and density of the traffic.

The All Vehicles drop-down box allows you to select particular vehicle types from the drop down list:

You can also toggle the Speed or Density check boxes. If selected, these will display an indicator for speed in yellow and density in blue

In the example below you can see a yellow heatmap within segment 329 showing a slightly below average speed for that segment, and a blue heatmap in segment 327 with an above average density for that segment:

The depth of blue and yellow colours within the segment grows when the level of slow traffic or the density increases. Clicking on the carriageway will open the Carriageway Stats:

Playback

When the Playback tab is selected then you will be able to playback tracks from the last 24 hours. Track will be displayed as a moving vehicle / person / track icon in yellow:

To playback a track:

Playback Control

The Playback Control allows you to select a time by sliding the time button along the timeline:

The day / time will be displayed beneath the button:

Along the bottom right are the Rewind, Pause, Play and Fast Forward options:

Dashboard

The Dashboard is the default lower display on the Mobile Client. It presents graphs showing Incident Alarms, System Alarms, Travel Time and the Average Speed of the traffic along the Carriageways. The graphs should update immediately when new alarms are raised.

Incident Alarms

The Incident Alarms donut chart displays the number of incidents that have occurred over the selected period. The chart is broken down into carriageways allowing you to see at a glance how many alarms have been given per carriageway. Hovering over a section of the chart will display a popup with the number of the particular type of incidents on the selected carriageway.

System Alarms

The System Alarms donut chart displays the number of system alarms given over the selected time period. Hovering over an area of the chart will display a popup with more information:

Travel Time

This graph displays the average journey travel times for each carriageway, at regular intervals during the selected period.

You can use your mouse to hover over points along the graph to display a tooltip showing the time, carriageway and average travel time for the journey:

Average Speed

This graph displays the average speed in m/s for each carriageway, at regular intervals during the selected period. Hovering your mouse over points along the graph will display a tooltip showing the time, carriageway, time and average speed at that point of the journey:

Time Period

By default, this display covers 24 hours, but you can also select a period of 1, 48 or 72 hours by selecting the desired time period:

Map

PPI Navigation Control

This allows the choice of a simple or full PPI Navigation Control by clicking on the two small arrows:

You can also use your mouse to zoom in and out, and Click+Drag to move the map.

Map Style

Traffic Analysis: The top left icon is a toggle to show or hide Traffic Analysis icons on the areas and or sections which have been configured with Traffic Analysis on the carriageway. Please refer to for more information.

There are the following map styles:

Map: The default Google road map.

Satellite: The Google satellite map.

Terrain: The Google terrain map.

OSM: An alternative road map provided by Open Street Map.

The example below is using the Google satellite map:

The map displays items overlaid upon it in a similar fashion to its counterpart PPI Map on the main ClearWay™ application:

• Configured carriageways and sections

• Elements within the ClearWay™ active layer such as radar and POI’s - see

• Representations of moving vehicles / targets

• Stopped vehicles

• Alarms will be displayed as they occur upon the relevant area of the map

In the example below, the Google Road map has been selected. The Live Alarms Panel shows 2 queues and 2 red alarm bell icons, the section of the traffic that has the second queue is highlighted orange:

Clicking on a radar will show the boundary of the radar range in pink and will open an info panel displaying the radar name and User ID as in the example below:

Traffic Analysis Areas will be outlined in orange and Traffic Analysis icons will be displayed on sections on the carriageway if these have been configured and the toggle enabled:

With the Traffic Analysis toggle disabled, the Traffic Analysis areas and sections will not be displayed:

Live Alarms
