CyberCabinet
The SWARCO CyberCabinet is a software-based simulation tool for transportation specialists and engineers to emulate, test, and validate intersection configurations using advanced controllers without needing a full traffic signal cabinet. It simulates multiple modern cabinets, including the ATC 5301, Caltrans TEES 2020 33X, NEMA TS2 Type 1 with a 16-channel MMU, and ITS version 1. The SWARCO CyberCabinet delivers faster, higher-quality results than traditional shop tests, improving onsite deployment and reducing call-backs once the intersection is up and running.
Virtual Cabinet Configuration
- The CyberCabinet supports five Input SIUs, two Output SIUs and a 32-channel CMU. Project and Map files store the configuration settings of each intersection.
Main View Modes
Controller operation can be viewed and exercised at the SIU device level (Device View), or with a higher level overhead view of the intersection (Map View).
Device View
- The Device view presents SIU inputs and outputs as separate forms (devices) with a control for each IO pin; name field, status icon, and checkbox.
Map View
- The map view elevates the display to a bird's eye view of the intersection geometry. Active icons are used to drive Detector, Ped, and Preempt inputs. Programmable signal face icons display RYG controller outputs.
Map Editor
- A built-in map editor is used to constructs the Map view for a target intersection using a collection of active icons and road furniture icons.
CMU Functionality
A 32-channel CMU function is configured from the actual intersection Datakey parameters to validate compatibility with the Controller database.
Fault Detection
- Conflict, Lack of Signal, Multiple, Y Clearance, Y+R Clearance, SB#1
Timeout, Local Flash, and Type 62.
Flashing Yellow Arrow (FYA)
- Full support of Flashing Yellow Arrow including Virtual Channels.
Fault Log
- A Previous Fault log is maintained to review any fault events captured by the CMU.
Datakey Load and Read
- The CMU Datakey parameters can be read from a file or directly
from the Datakey using a supported Datakey Reader device.
Replay Mode
Controller sequences can be Replayed and Saved to repeat and analyze a signal sequence in detail.
Serial Comm Trace Log
A Serial Bus #1 ‘sniffer’ function captures the HDLC frames and displays the frame data and timestamp for detailed real‐time analysis.
SIU Direct Mode
The SIU Direct Mode can be used to monitor and control a physical SIU‐2218 device in a test cabinet.
