Warrants 7 is Trafficware's software to implement the methods of the 2003 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Warrants 7 includes all eight warrants from Chapter 4. With Warrants 7, the user can:

* Store and analyze the warrants for all intersections in the study area in a single file for easy project management

* Write data from Synchro via a button click

* Read/Write data using Universal Traffic Data Format (UTDF)

* Create professional looking reports

* Enable only the warrants desired for review

* Create summary reports for ALL intersections in the study area to quickly let you view the status of warrants

Warrants 7 will be ready for release later this week.

John,

Will Warrants 7 be a seperate purchase or will it be an "upgrade" for existing users?

Thanks

Hi Mark,

This will be a separate package that can be added as an option.

Thanks,

John.

too bad, we're using the California MUTCD.

Hi Eric,

Do you know of a summary page showing the differences between the Federal warrants and the California MUTCD warrants?

Thanks!

John.

Hello John:

Does 'Warrants 7' work with both licenses for SYNCHRO Studio Version 7.0 and SYNCHRO plus SimTRAFFIC Version 7.0?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Warrants will work with Synchro or Synchro Plus. The Warrants 7 will actually work as a stand-alone package. The advantage to using this w/ Synchro is for transferring data between the packages.

Thanks,

John.

So if I updated to the latest build, would my Studio 7 license allow me to run Warrants?

Hi Mark,

Sorry for my confusion. No, Warrants is a separate software program, sold separately. It will require a different key code. You can see pricing on this by going to the online store.

As with any of the tools, you can try it in Demo mode to get an idea of the look and capabilities.

Thanks,

John.

John, here are two pages that may answer your above question-

Part 4 of the California MUTCD (highway traffic signals)

http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/signtech/mutcdsupp/pd...cd/CAMUTCD-Part4.pdf

and a comparison document between the California Supplement and the California MUTCD

Eric

Can california users expect any form of downloadable updates to reflect CA amendments to the 2003 MUTCD warrants standards (per links from the user above)?

Also, is there any way in the Warrants 7 module to insert header/footer information? I cannot find any place to do this.

Thx.

According to FHWA, there are:
* 23 States plus Puerto Rico adopted the national MUTCD without a supplement.
* 23 States plus the District of Columbia adopted the National MUTCD with a State supplement.
* 4 States have a State MUTCD in substantial conformance with the National MUTCD.

Hi John,

I am a student in the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, Student No. 49498. Im wondering if there is any software for students, specifically, software for the warrants.

Thank you.
