Coming this spring …

TRANSYT-7F Integrated with HCS+

Seamless access to TRANSYT-7F, the profession’s most powerful signal timing optimization in HCST7F ™


McTrans’ latest software development is being finalized and tested for release this spring to provide seamless access to TRANSYT-7F, the profession’s most powerful signal timing optimization in HCST7F.


This new combined software package will provide for advanced signal timing optimization for intersections, arterials or networks using TRANSYT-7F.


The new Release 11 of TRANSYT-7F includes the following new features:


• rewritten GUI features Microsoft “dot-net”architecture

• one-touch CORSIM* animation

• one-touch HCS analysis

• upgraded Lane Configuration screen provides full intersection views

• upgraded Saturation Flow Rate screen shows all 12 movements at once

• saturation flow rate adjustment factors are now saved into the TIN file

• copy-and-paste intersections in the Map View, to avoid re-coding lane configuration, volumes, and timings

• combined the record type editor and GUI into one program

• agency information on formatted report and summary reports

• new route summary and satflow summary text reports

• the following CORSIM data can now be imported: pre-timed, semi-actuated, fullyactuated, multiple time periods, two-way stop

• direct CORSIM* optimization can now optimize the following: pre-timed, semiactuated, fully-actuated, multiple time periods

• import any CORSIM file, timed and optimized by any other method, and instantly improve on that design

• Russian language version

Overall, TRANSYT-7F also offers:

• Genetic algorithm optimization of cycle length, phasing sequence, splits, and offsets

• Direct CORSIM* optimization, CORSIM post-processing

• One-touch CORSIM* animation, onetouch HCS+ analysis

• Import CORSIM* files, import HCS+ files

• Multiple-period optimization, hill-climb optimization

• Lane-by-lane analysis, actuated control analysis

* Requires TSIS-CORSIM, sold separately


HCS+ will also be upgraded to version 5.3 to include the new Interchange Ramp Terminals module automating the recently approved HCM Chapter 26 procedures.


HCS+ registered users will receive the new HCST7F product automatically when released this spring! TRANSYT-7F and HCS2000 users can avoid the price increase by upgrading now .
