Create Plan Wizard

After creating the Works Area the Create Plan Wizard continues with the Works questions.

The Works step

Vehicles questions relate to your traffic survey and non-pedestrian traffic.

The Carriageway step

Finally, pedestrian information needs to be entered.

The Other step

Steps don't need to be completed sequentially. Completed steps will be marked by a green check icon, the active step will be marked blue, and an orange exclamation icon will mark steps that are missing information. "Untouched" steps will be marked in grey.

To delete a plan you’ve started creating, you can select the ellipsis in the top right of the panel and select Delete plan.

Delete Plan button

You will be asked to confirm deletion and can cancel deletion by clicking Back.

When all five steps are marked as complete, click Generate Auto-draft in the bottom right of the panel to begin generation.

The answers you submitted are referenced against the rules logic and 1Streetworks' Auto-draft process begins to generate a draft plan. The generation can be tracked via the progress indicator.

Generation in progress indicator

It typically takes under a minute to generate the Auto-draft.

ClosedAuto-draft Unsuccessful

Plans that cannot be automatically generated for the location and inputs you’ve specified will give a notification and a code based on the automation step that was unable to complete successfully.

This code can be given to Support to help identify the reason that a plan cannot be successfully generated and whether further refinement in the automation process is required in the future.

Example of a Failed Auto-draft generation, with an error code.

The plan can still be created by clicking Create and Edit, allowing the plan to be manually corrected.

Successful plans will show the automatically produced traffic management plan on the map, and the Plan tab will contain a list of all the features. Clicking the Locate on Map button Locate Feature next to a feature will centre the map on it, while clicking the Hide Feature button Hide Feature will toggle hiding that feature on the map.

Completed Auto-draft

You can also display fewer features in the list using the expand/collapse arrows for each category of feature.

The signs and traffic signals are presented in whichever view mode you have selected, the image above shows the plan in Flat view. The bottom of each sign or signal is the “placement point” used to attach the feature to the correct location on the ground. Each is oriented according to the bearing that the Auto-draft logic assigned it based on the underlying Ordnance Survey data. If a sign has a supplementary plate, its base is the “placement point” for the entire sign. In Flat mode, red dots show placement points of traffic cones.

Perspective view orientates features to always face you, even when the map is panned in 3D view. The direction that each feature faces on the ground is shown by the arrow on the circular axis.

Auto-draft Perspective view

In Perspective view, the red dots used to denote traffic cones are replaced with cone symbols.

The Details tab shows the information given when creating the initial plan boundaries. These can be edited by clicking the Edit Plan Details button .

The Auto-Draft tab contains all of the Create Plan Wizard questions and answers.

The Advisories tab will list any advisories raised by the generation of the plan. This includes advisories on implementing controlled pedestrian crossings, diversions, etc. If no advisories have been raised, the tab will state that none were raised.

To edit the answers or change the Works Area, select Go Back. You will then be asked to confirm this.

If you confirm, all the features added to the plan will disappear but the Works Area(s) will remain untouched.

If you are happy with the Auto-draft, click Accept and then confirm after checking the box to agree to the terms and cost of the plan. This allows PDFs to be generated or further changes to be added/made by Editing Plans.

Accept auto-draft dialog

Once accepted, the status changes to Auto-draft complete and you can review the plan details in the panel's Details, Plan, Signals, Road, Diversions, Signs, PDF, History, Information and Advisories tabs.
