Better roundabout designs

TRL Software and Savoy Computing Services have released the Arcady 7 and AutoTrack Junctions Link, an innovative solution that links two market-leading products. By dynamically linking and combining the two operations, the time taken to produce efficient and robust roundabout designs is significantly reduced.

491 TRL Software and 551 Savoy Computing Services have released the Arcady 7 and AutoTrack Junctions Link, an innovative solution that links two market-leading products. By dynamically linking and combining the two operations, the time taken to produce efficient and robust roundabout designs is significantly reduced. The link is initiated automatically and the two programmes communicate seamlessly with each other. Arcady 7 provides results such as RFC, level of service and values of queues and delays which are all displayed in Autotrack and updated in real time as changes to geometry are made.

Using the link between these two programmes, one single interactive environment has been created in which all relevant parameters are constantly updated; this allows an engineer to see immediate effects. The iterative nature of this new design process provides reduced design time, improved design efficiency and ultimately reduced costs.

    Automatic number plate recognition continues to find new applications beyond the traditional. In coming years, we can expect the application set to grow significantly Moore's Law has seen to it that computer processing power has improved out of all comparison in the 30-plus years since the first working Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system was created by the UK's Police Scientific Development Branch. The attendant increases in systems' capabilities have resulted in ANPR being deployed globally
