Traffic Paths are and advanced visualization tool that enables users to create active site models. They are designed to show civilian pedestrian and vehicle traffic that surrounds the construction site or to demonstrate the site accessablility for Construction Workers. Traffic Paths can be controlled with Triggers and can also be added to tasks to allow the user to change traffic at different times during the construction simulation.

A solid understanding of Traffic Paths requires the user to be familiar with controlling and creating Paths. There are two types of Traffic Paths in Fuzor

Vehicle Paths allow users to create complex vehicle traffic simulations. Any Vehicle that can drive can be added to a Vehicle Path. Vehicle paths are designed to simulate Non-Construction Vehicles Navigating around the construction site.

A Vehicle Path can be used to demonstrate Site Egress for Construction Vehicles as well. Although for a detailed animation is it recommened that the user create a Vehicle Animation Path and add the associated vehicle to the schedule through Multi-Track Animations.

Pedestrian Paths allow users to demonstrate pedestrian access. Pedestrian access is important for both Civilian Traffic around the site and to demonstrate how construction workers navigate the construction site and access key areas.

The Lane Control allows you to make additional lanes with a given path and control the speed of the selected segment, lane and entire system respectively.

Lanes are not always exact copies of the original. An inner corner has a shorter length than an outer as shown in the screenshot below. Left and Right lanes are defined by the direction of the path.

The Multi-Lane Left textbox controls the number of lanes to the left

The Multi-Lane Right textbox controls the number of lanes to the right.

The Custom Lane Width checkbox allows the user to enter a custom lane width. This may cause cars on the path with larger turn radius’s to no longer be able to make their turns

The Lane Width textbox controls the distance between lanes.

The Spacing textbox controls the distance between cars.

The Speed Limits control the speed of the selected segment, path or system. Lanes are considered separate paths from the original unless connected.

The Segment speed limit controls the speed limit for that segment

The Path speed limit controls the speed limit for that path and any other lanes connected to it.

The All Lanes speed limit controls the speed limit just for that segment
