What is SIDRA INTERSECTION?
SIDRA INTERSECTION is a world-leading software tool for road traffic modelling, used in traffic engineering, transport planning, multi-modal traffic management, intersection design, and operations.
FEATURES
Powerful tools for the design and evaluation of single intersections and networks of intersections.
SIDRA INTERSECTION employs an analytical approach to model intersections, interchanges, streets, and networks. Its applications include traffic impact assessments, roundabout geometric design, optimisation of traffic signal control systems, and the development of balanced Movement and Place solutions.
This tool provides unique value to transport planning and traffic engineering by delivering balanced solutions that address the diverse and often conflicting needs of all transport users – pedestrians, cyclists, buses, trams/light rail, cars, and freight vehicles. By prioritising cost-effective and environmentally sustainable outcomes, SIDRA INTERSECTION significantly enhances decision-making processes.

MODELS
Advanced micro-analytical traffic evaluation software used by transport professionals in 80+ countries across the globe.
Realistic traffic analysis of closely spaced intersections requires modelling of driver lane use behaviour. This is lacking in software that use traffic modelling based on lane groups.
SIDRA INTERSECTION is a unique lane-based model that can identify backward spread of congestion, midblock lane changes and unequal approach lane use at closely-spaced intersections. This unique lane-based micro-analytical network model allows analysis of all intersection types– signals, roundabouts, sign control - in one network.
