5642 Trafficware’s release of its Synchro plus SimTraffic Version 9.1 traffic optimisation and simulation tool adds traffic impact analysis (TIA), a feature designed to assess the adequacy of existing or future arterial traffic generated by proposed property developments.  

Synchro’s traffic impact analysis will streamline traffic engineers’ workload by automatically generating routes into and out of a proposed development, automating calculations for trip assignments and distributions and facilitating planning of multiple future growth projections to provide the most comprehensive traffic impact study.

Trip generation data imports directly for users of TripGen 2014; otherwise, volumes are entered into Synchro. Pass-by trips are included with trip generation and trip distribution. Multiple property developments, each with multiple driveways and land uses, can now be included in one Synchro file.

    Software developed by researchers from the University of Minnesota for the Smart (Systematic Monitoring of Arterial Road and Traffic Signals) signal system automatically collects and processes data from traffic signal controllers at multiple intersections. It then creates performance measures, including information on the times and locations congestion occurs on a roadway. A new version of the software has been deployed at more than fifty intersections managed by the Minnesota Department of Transportatio
