70 CHAPTER 7  LANES & STOP BARS

Figure 7.5 – Automatic Conﬁguration Overlay

SmartSensor Matrix is constantly running the auto-conguration process in order to nd

undiscovered lanes and stop bars. During this process, lanes will appear in the Auto Cfg

overlay. You will need to select and capture auto-congured lanes in order to save them to

the sensor (see the Capturing Lanes and Stop Bars section below). Wait at least 2–3 cycles

of the intersection to accurately detect the lanes and stop bars.

Capturing Lanes and Stop Bars

Lanes that appear in the Saved Conguration Overlay or in the Automatic Conguration

Overlay can be captured by clicking on them. Once a lane is captured, it becomes part of the

edit area. Captured lanes are only copied to the edit area and are NOT saved to the sensor

until aer clicking on the Save Cong button.

Note

It is recommended to not start the auto-conﬁguration process when trac is

stopped, as stopped vehicles may be interpreted as part of the normal background

when the sensor is initiating its conﬁguration scans. Depending on vehicle volume,

users may want to temporarily disable the “Blind Sensor Enters Failsafe” feature (see

the Advanced tab in Chapter 6) when running auto-conﬁguration to reduce the pos-

sibility of the sensor prematurely triggering a blind sensor condition during start-up

due to lack of vehicles.

To capture lanes:

1 Select a lane by clicking on it once.

2 Click on the lane a second time to bring up the Capture window (see Figure 7.6).

3 Click on the Capture Lane button to capture the selected lane. If you want to capture

all the congured lanes, click the Capture All button.
