WaySync-M, which is the short for WaySync-Mobile, is a mobile tool for real-time diagnosis and performance evaluation of traffic signal timing plans. It enables users to develop virtual signal controllers on their mobile devices, which run the same timing plans as that running in the field. Together with its advanced features of geo-referencing and dynamic time-space diagram, it allows users to easily diagnose common issues with actuated coordinated signals, such as phase early return, transition, clock drifting, and erroneous offset inputs. It can be used as a supplemental tool for better timing coordinated traffic signals. Dynamic time-space diagram with Integrated vehicular trajectory for best diagnosis and performance evaluation of coordinated traffic signals. Key features: + Display real-time Time-Space Diagram (TSD) of the traffic signals + Display real-time traffic signal timing on Map + Check bandwidth and attainability when edit timing in TSD + Record GPS tracks and videos which can help engineers to improve traffic performance + Support optimization for non-common cycles * Wifi-only iPad cannot record GPS tracks without external GPS device.
