Adding a New Intersection Ready to Migrate to Sepac 5.x
The new pre-5.x intersection will have the version pre-set to allow migrating or converting to 5.x
A new intersection created from scratch in TACTICS does not have a Sepac version and this is the default behavior. However, sometimes you may want to have an intersection that has a pre-5.x version that can be updated to 5.x NTCIP or ECOM, but you don't have a controller with the older Sepac version. The steps below will help you.
-
Find a copy of the older 3.58 intersection file (e.g. "Main & First St.int").
-
In TACTICS, add a new intersection and select Protocol ECOM. Set other settings as necessary and save:

- Open the new intersection's Database Menu, go to All Data, go to File | Import, select the 3.58 intersection file from step 1:

Ignore SQL warnings related to deadlock. Answer "No" to question about defaulting the ring sequence; wait until the import is finished and saved. - The new intersection should have the 3.58 version pre-populated once finished.

- The new intersection should be able to either convert to ECOM 5.x or migrated to NTCIP 5.x via the Migrate option:

Note: This is possible without a controller running an older Sepac version.
