The condition in (c) is normally disabled for individual phases at the time of
configuration. Speed extensions will still request extra clearance because of the
operation of condition (a).
An extra clearance period will be given under any mode of control, i.e. manual, VA,
fixed time, CLF, UTC, vehicle priority or hurry call. Its effect is to increase all the
inter-green timings for the phase which is being given the extra clearance, and also to
increase the phase change delay times for gaining phases.
This latter increase is computed as the largest of the extra clearance times currently
applied for that stage to stage move.
Phase change delay times for individual gaining phases may be configured so that they
are not increased when a specific phase is requesting an extra intergreen due to
SDE/SA.
NOTE: If the inter-green is not dependent on the SDE/SA phase inter-green time
(because another losing phase has a longer inter-green time) then the extra clearance
period may not actually delay the appearance of the gaining phase.
The range of the timing period for the extra-clearance is 0 to 50 seconds in 1 second
steps for each SDE/SA phase.
The programmed value may be changed via the handset using the SCT command.
6.5 SDE/SA PARALLEL STAGE STREAMING FACILITIES
If a phase with SDE/SA is requesting extra clearance and so increasing the time in its
associated intergreen timer, it is possible to specify at configuration which delay timers
(for phases gaining ROW) are to also be increased. In this way, it is possible to specify
delay timers just for the phases appearing in a particular stream, whilst not increasing
those in other streams.
6.6 SDE/SA ON GREEN ARROWS
Where these are single aspect, the red and amber drives of the Phase Switch PCB are
not available to drive other green arrows, as they must be programmed as 3-aspect to
get the amber signal to meet the requirement of 6.4, even though only the green arrow
is connected. (See section 18).
6.7 COMMON APPROACH LANES
Where an assessor is associated with a number of phases, then all the phases that
require speed extensions and extra clearance periods can be driven from that assessor.
If this is required then the phase termination’s should not be staggered.
