This section discusses the main aspects of the ClearWay™ Mobile Client display and how to navigate them.

The behaviour of the ClearWay™ Mobile Client will reflect the configuration of the ClearWay™ application. For example; a user logged into the Mobile Client will have the same permissions as in the main application. Unlike the main Windows application, these permissions cannot be set using the Mobile Client, they must be configured in the main client.

Schematic Control: This allows you to choose between Live, Statistics or Playback options as well as the controls necessary for managing them.

User: The logged in user.

Role: The user’s role.

Schematic: This is a simplified view of the carriageway, which includes approximate placements of the radar along it.

Schematic Edit Controls: This enables you to edit the schematic.

System Profile: The current selected System Profile. This can also act as a selector for a user with the relevant access to change the current profile. System Profiles

Notifications: Notifications will show for a short period before disappearing.

System Menu: This accesses the System Menu.

PPI Navigation Control: These are controls to help navigate around the map display, including pan (if the Home Style is set to Full) and return to origin.

Display Options: You can choose views between the Dashboard, Map, System Alarms and Live Alarms.

Live Alarm Panel: The panel contains interactive icons which represent live alarm or queue incidents.

PPI Map Display: This is the map display that provides you with situational awareness across your site, offering real time information on targets and incidents. This is shown when Map is selected from the Display Options.

Clicking on the Search icon will open the Site Map to navigate to parts of the site.

There is a Search field to allow you to filter and locate an entry in the Site Map list quickly:

The Search Type field will filter the list according to type:

Double-clicking an entry will automatically move the map (if selected) to show the location of the entity.

Clicking on the Topology icon will open the Topology page. Please refer to ClearWay™ Mobile Client Topology for more information.

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.

The Live screen displays the carriageways and if they 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 vehicles and large vehicles currently in that section, with their average speed in m/s:

The bell icon will change colour from white to orange for any section based alarms for the selected section. If the queue icon turns 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 effected lane/section blocks on the grid will be highlighted in orange or red.

Dotted outlines on a carriageway section signifies radar coverage. Red represents no coverage, orange is for partial coverage:

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 (2 alarms and 0 queues), and the individual icons grouped on their right then display each incident in time order.

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 will synchronise with the Schematic to focus on the effected lane/section blocks on the grid.

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.

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.

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:

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 https://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TUN/pages/120258563/Carriageway+Profiles#Changing-a-Section-or-Sections-Operating-Mode for more information regarding Maintenance Mode configuration in the main ClearWay™ application UI.

The Stats tab gives you insight into the speed and density of the traffic.

The Stats control allows you to select particular vehicle types from the drop down list:

You can also select the Speed or Density buttons:

In the example below you can see a faint blue area within segment 327 showing a slightly above average speed for that segment:

The depth of blue colour and size of the area within the segment grows when the speed or density increases.

Below a blue area of a segment indicates above average density. The depth of blue colour and size of the area within the segment grows when the density increases. Clicking on the carriageway will open the carriageway Stats:

When the Playback tab is selected then you will be able to playback tracks at a selected time. The tracks are displayed as moving vehicle icons in yellow:

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:

These fields display the logged in User name and their Role. These fields are static.

To logout of the system click the Logout button at the bottom of the screen:

It is possible to change the System Profile:

  1. Click on the entry:

  2. This will open the Change System Profile dialogue:

  3. Providing you have access, you can then quickly change the Profile as required.

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.

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.

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:

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:

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:

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:

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

Full: The user can also navigate around the map using the pan arrows:

Simple: The user can navigate using the keyboard or mouse and return to the origin:

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

Double-clicking on particular sections, radar, points of interest etc. on the map will synchronise with the Schematic to focus on that area.

This offers 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 Layers

  • 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 red alarm bell icons, the section of the traffic that has the second alarm is highlighted orange and there is a stopped car graphic in the Emergency Area, and a notification giving more information regarding the alarm is displayed for 10 seconds:

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:

This panel displays the highway alarms which are currently active. These would typically be triggered in response to an incident that requires a response.

These can be sorted by clicking the Sort option within each list:

ID: The unique alarm ID.

Description: This displays the classification of the target, the carriageway, section and lane where the alarm was raised.

Created: The date and time the alarm was raised.

Acknowledged: This will show the date and time if the alarm has been acknowledged.

Actions: This will show any actions that can be taken. Clicking on the Locate icon will dynamically move the schematic to the display the affected section of the carriageway centre-screen:

Clicking on the Clear Alarm icon will clear the alarm and remove it from the list:

This panel displays system alarms which are typically health and configuration alarms. These are only raised if a problem has been detected with the overall operation of the system.

These can be sorted by clicking the Sort option within each list:

Alarm ID: The unique alarm ID.

Description: This will list the effected radar, track engine etc with a description of the issue.

Created: The date and time the alarm was raised.

Actions: This will show any actions that can be taken. Clicking on the Clear Alarm icon will clear the alarm and remove it from the list.
