January 25, 2007	Visual TEAPAC with SCENARIO - A Whole New Way of Using Visual TEAPAC!   A Revolutionary New Way to Manage Multi-Variable, Multi-Scenario Traffic Analyses    featuring the Graphical Interface & Results and Seamless Integration of Visual TEAPAC
	Have you ever used File-SaveAs to create several new scenario analyses, only to find later that you'd created a data management nightmare because of all the file names and duplicated data found in each file?   Have you ever conducted a multi-scenario analysis where one data variable is changing independently another, and ended up creating a confusing array of files that was nearly impossible to figure out only a week later?
	Now these types of studies are a snap with the new Visual TEAPAC program - SCENARIO.  With this revolutionary tool you can now create and manage multi-variable, multi-scenario analyses without any of that dangerous data duplication or confusing file naming and manipulation. Since SCENARIO is part of the broad Visual TEAPAC package, your multi-scenario analyses are automatically in place for all TEAPAC programs (at no extra charge once you have SCENARIO), like SIGNAL2000 (for HCM capacity analysis and signal timing & phasing optimization), SITE (for traffic impact studies), WARRANTS (for MUTCD warrant analysis) and TURNS (for traffic count analysis).  All this in a straightforward package that is easy to use, whether creating a scenario analysis, saving data which is part of the scenario definition, or even modifying the structure after you're halfway done with the project.  (check out the example screen-shot of a scenario-creation dialog below) And since SCENARIO is automatically built into all six of the TEAPAC preprocessors as well, like PRESYNCHRO and PRETRANSYT, the unique SCENARIO function is automatically functional for a plethora of third-party software such as HCS, HCS+, Synchro (6 or 7), SimTraffic, TRANSYT-7F, CORSIM, PASSER-II, TS/PP-Draft and even NOSTOP.  (check out the complete integration flowchart below) Believe it! One file to manage for all 14 TEAPAC programs and 13 external programs, for as many as 500 intersections per file, and now as many as 25 scenario conditions each for up to 5 independent issues!  Life couldn't be easier when you're using Visual TEAPAC with SCENARIO for your multi-scenario traffic and transportation analyses.
