We have received signal group plans for the two intersections. We will still use these times and it also works fine when our signals are running at fixed time. However, there is active pedestrian pressure, which we have modeled by detectors. When it is not green for pedestrians, there should be a right turn arrow. These are the signal groups: Pedestrians are bh, bi, bf, bg. Right turn arrow is B1h and B2h.

To solve this problem we have made a VisVap file according to the guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKvNQA9jXhI. It actually works okay, and pedestrians can activate and get green as they should. The problem, however, is that the green times become too short in relation to what we have specified they should be (The ones we have specified are those that can be seen in the pictures signal groups (SG) 1 and 2). For example, for SG 1 we have set the green time to 34 sec, but it is only 21 sec, as it has been tried to illustrate with the picture signal times Vissim. This is an error on all signal groups after we have used VisVap. The reason why we have used maximum green time instead of minimum is because there is a fixed notification of incoming traffic in the signal program. When we originally used the minimum green times, they were even shorter than they are now when we simulated. We have attached a zip file containing the model file, VV. files and PUA. files. What we need help with is how we make a fixed cycle based on the signal programs we have received, but with active pedestrian activation and right-turn arrow, or how we can get VISSIM to actually use the minimum/maximum green times we have set. Unfortunately, we have not become wiser by searching for answers online. Therefore we hope someone in here are able to help.

It is quite urgent since it is needed for our final project at the university.
