  1. TEAPAC Complete Version 8 The Ultimate Integrator

  2. What is TEAPAC? • A seamlessly-integrated collection of interactive traffic & transportation analysis & design computer applications • traffic signal capacity analysis • signal timing optimization studies • geometric design of intersections • site traffic impact analysis • traffic count analysis • signal and multi-way stop warrants • arterial bandwidth progression • export & import for third-party software

  3. What is an Integrated System of Software? • Each application function in the program recognizes the existence of the other application functions • share input for all functions • use output of some functions as input to others • Each program recognizes the existence of external software • import/export results between TEAPAC and other programs • Open Architecture • ASCII data files for custom software

  4. History of TEAPAC • 1974 - Created on Minicomputers • 1978 - Ported to Microcomputers • 1983 - Moved to PC-compatibles • 1989 - Strong Concepts Started • full-time development & support • 1994, 1997, 2000 - enhanced • for each HCM update • 2004 - Seamless Data Exchange • 2006 - Visual TEAPAC • 2007 - SCENARIO plugin added • 2008 - TEAPAC Complete • all TEAPAC functions in one program • Used 3+ decades by hundreds of agencies around the world.

  5. The Power of TEAPAC's Maturity • Does What Users Need Done • Truly Interactive Engineering • Windows Dialogs w/ Context-sensitive On-screen Help for Learners • Command Mode for Expert Users • Easily Customized Input Screens • Control Scripts for Repeated, Multi-Scenario Actions • ASCII Data Files for Integration to Other Software

  6. Primary Functions of TEAPAC • HCM2000 Signal Analysis and Optimization • Arterial Bandwidth Progression • Traffic Impact Analysis • Turn Count Tabulation & Analysis • MUTCD Warrant Analysis • Multi-variable Scenario Mgmt. • Script Automation Adv. Tutorial • Export/Import to & from: • PASSER-II • TRANSYT-7F • NETSIM/CORSIM • SYNCHRO/SIMTRAFFIC • TS/PP-DRAFT

  7. HCM Signal Analysis • HCM2000 Capacity Analysis • for existing conditions • for results from TRANSYT, PASSER, SYNCHRO, etc. • Optimization of Timings and/or Phasings for Best Operation • Optimization Allows Use for: • signal timing/phasing design • intersection design studies • planning impact studies • planning study mitigation measures • Export to HCS, if Desired • for example, with optimized results

  8. Progression Analysis • Simplified Arterial Bandwidth Progression • optimize offsets • optimize cycle • Minimal Input Requirements • distances • speeds • through splits • Complete Cycle Optimization • full range of cycles tested • graph of efficiency vs. cycle • Help with Best Phase Ordering • Time-space Diagram of Optimum Timings

  9. Traffic Impact Analysis • Calculation of Site-related Traffic Generation • Distribution & Assignment of Generated Traffic • User Input of All Information • use other TEAPAC data directly • user is in control of assignments • no battles with computer-generated micro assignments • FINDPATH option for shortest route • Use Generated Volumes in Signal Analysis for Optimization

  10. Turn Count Analysis • Tabulation of Raw Counts • Tabulation of 15-min Counts and Volume Rates • Tabulation of 60-min Volumes • All Tabulations Include Total for Approach, Exit & Intersection • Peak Hour Search and Analysis • Import Raw Counts from Electronic Count Devices (Jamar, Timelapse, Titan, TimeMark, etc.) • Use Peak Volumes in other TEAPAC functions, like Signal Analysis & Impact Analysis.

  11. MUTCD Warrant Analyses • Signalized & Multi-way Stop Warrant Analysis • 2003 MUTCD • 2000 MUTCD • 1988 MUTCD • Tabulation of Raw Counts • Import Raw Counts from Electronic Count Devices

  12. Scenario Management • Create Scenarios for all TEAPAC Application Functions • multi-variable • multi-issue • Avoid Problems of Using SaveAs • duplicate data in files - NO! • multiple, complex file names - NO! • Also works for all 3rd-party software supported by TEAPAC

  13. TED Editor • TED - TEAPAC Editor • data files • control/script files • View and/or Modify TEAPAC Data Files • Create TEAPAC Control Files for Batch Operations • especially multi-scenario analyses
