Introduction

This section discusses the ClearWay™ Mobile Client Schematic and also covers Live viewing and Maintenance Mode.

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.

Open

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.

Open

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:Traffic Analysis Plugin) then these will be displayed on the schematic:

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 Carriageway Profiles | Changing a Section or Sections Operating Mode 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:
