SIDRA API NEW IN 11.0.4
The SIDRA API Can Now Read and Write SIDRA ASSIGN Data
A program you write can now build Assign Volume Bins, zones and O-D trip matrices, create Assign Networks, set up the assignment and read O-D, route and convergence results. Two new sample programs show how, in C#, C++ and Python. The API is included with your SIDRA INTERSECTION licence at no extra charge.

Enhancements
What Has Improved
SIDRA API
- API access to ASSIGN data has now been provided. See SIDRA ASSIGN in the SIDRA API documentation.
- New data items and API access are added for the new "Source App" parameter in Properties dialogs to provide information about the data and program sources used to create and modify Sites and Networks in a Project file.
SIDRA ASSIGN
- Assign Volume Bins now have LV and HV Movement Classes enabled always. This overcomes the issues that occurred if these classes were disabled.
- When setting ASSIGN O-D Presets, clicking on a very fine line was required which needed too much precision for mouse use. The lines have been made wider to make this task easier.
Roundabouts
- The SIDRA Standard Roundabout Capacity Model used under the US HCM - Metric and US HCM - Customary software setups is now referred to as "SIDRA Standard (HCM)" throughout the program.
- Roundabout capacity values calculated in SIDRA using the US HCM 6 Roundabout Capacity Model option did not match exactly with values calculated using the HCM methodology. This was due to enhancements in SIDRA related to calculations by Movement Class (including Heavy Vehicles). These enhancements are no longer applied, and the Heavy Vehicle adjustment method used in SIDRA for the HCM 6 Roundabout Capacity Model replicates the HCM specification.
What this means. SIDRA Standard (HCM) is the SIDRA Standard model calibrated to match the HCM Edition 6 model; the new name makes that clear wherever it appears. Section 5.6 of the User Guide lists the other ways the HCM 6 / 7 model in SIDRA INTERSECTION can differ from a strict HCM implementation, such as applying capacity constraint to oversaturated lanes.
Signal analysis
- Slip Lane movements with "Exclude Slip Lane from Signal Analysis" (Lane Geometry dialog, Lane Data tab), and U-turn movements with "Exclude U-Turn Before Intersection from Signal Analysis" (Movement Definitions dialog, Approach Movements tab) checked will not be taken into account in the determination of phase frequency. In previous versions, these movements were always considered.
What this means. Both options are checked by default. Movements you have already excluded from signal timing calculations are now left out of phase frequency too.
Interface and workflow
- Software Setup names in the Manage tab, various Information and Properties tabs and in the SIDRA INTERSECTION installer have been enhanced to provide better clarity about whether metric or US Customary units apply.
- Batch Convert now has options for editing any duplicate IDs found in previous version Project files. The IDs are changed during the conversion process using the option selected by the user.
- Minor fixes and improvements to user interface.
Documentation
- Additions to SIDRA Glossary including ASSIGN terms.
- Improvements to User Guide and Help system.
Reprocessing a model in 11.0.4?
Several changes in this release can change results, for example the heavy vehicle adjustment in the HCM 6 Roundabout Capacity Model, phase frequency for excluded slip lane and U-turn movements, and several capacity and performance fixes. Reprocess affected models in 11.0.4 and check the results before you report them.
How to Update
| From within the software | Select Check for Updates under FILE Tab > Software Info. The software will identify the more recent version and ask you whether to apply the update. |
