SmarTek Systems HiWayVU Startup Operation - Manual (Page 5)

HiWayVU Folder Paths Setup – One Instance Default Paths
After selecting HiWayVU parameters, the Paths Setup window will appear automatically the first time HiWayVU is run or
if the HiWayVU_Paths.inp file is not found in the HiWayVU project folder. Use this setup window to specify the Work,
Target Download, and the ThirdParty subfolders for HiWayVU operation. After setup, these paths and subfolders are kept
in the HiWayVU_Paths.inp file.
The Work subfolder is where HiWayVU “looks” to get data and image files for updating map icon status and site traffic
data and camera image displays.
The Target Download subfolder is where HiWayVU puts sensor data files and camera image files obtained from each
remote traffic cabinet.
The Third Party subfolder is where HiWayVU puts data and image files copied from the Target Download subfolder. This
folder is used to make data and image files available for third party use.
For a single instance of HiWayVU operating as both the “Data Collector” and the “Traffic
Information Display”, the Work subfolder and the Target Download subfolder should be
set to the same location. For the Paths Setup window above, the Work and Target
Download subfolder are both set to “Working”. The Third Party subfolder is set to
“ThirdParty”. After clicking OK, the paths and subfolders are created if they don’t
already exist, the HiWayVU_Paths.inp file is created or updated in the project folder, and
HiWayVU’s Main display window is opened.
The paths Setup window can be opened to change the path and/or folder names by clicking
the Files/Setup Data and Image Folders menu item in HiWayVU’s Main display.
