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.

    The Finnish Meteorological Institute is currently testing two-way delivery of local weather data as Timo Sukuvaara explains. Road weather information is one of the key ways in which ITS can help reduce traffic accidents and fatalities – which is why the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) has long provided road weather services. Now, the CoMoSeF (Cooperative Mobility Services of the Future) project has been developing communication methodologies to deliver road weather services directly to vehicles and g
