PREREQUISITES
* A fairly good level of knowledge of the use of SIDRA INTERSECTION.
* A good level of familiarity with traffic engineering methods and
terminology and knowledge of intersection modelling and evaluation
concepts.
A good understanding of traffic operations at intersections is
essential for the effective use of traffic models for intersection and
network design and evaluation purposes. Attending the MODEL
FUNDAMENTALS Workshop is recommended for developing an improved
understanding of the use of SIDRA INTERSECTION for traffic modelling.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the VERSION 9 UPDATE Workshop, participants will:
* gain a good knowledge of the new features of SIDRA INTERSECTION
Version 9 including the user interface, input, output and modelling
changes that have been introduced in this version;
* learn about how the model results will be affected by changes in
SIDRA INTERSECTION Version 9;
* be able to adapt to the major changes introduced in SIDRA
INTERSECTION Version 9 and be able to use the new software package
effectively.
CONTENT
This one-day VERSION 9 UPDATE Workshop provides an interactive
learning opportunity with hands-on computer experience, working
together with instructors through many examples.
The SIDRA INTERSECTION workshops are not just about intersection and
network analysis, but aim to improve general understanding of
operational analysis of all traffic facilities. It is important to
learn about model calibration as an important element of realistic
modelling of traffic facilities.
The VERSION 9 UPDATE Workshop will cover modelling of all types of
intersection and network modelling in teaching the new features of
SIDRA INTERSECTION Version 9 to existing users. These include the
following.
_Traffic Model Features_
* New Network Templates for modelling staged crossings at 3-way and
4-way intersections, paired intersections, interchanges and innovative
intersection and interchange designs.
* Pedestrian Crossing (Zebra/Unsignalised) on Slip lanes.
* Staged Pedestrian Crossings with selectable elements (approach or
exit side crossing can be specified as not existing).
* Merge Model for exit short lanes with Priority Merge and Zipper
Merge options.
* Model for U-turn before intersection.
* Continuous movement (uninterrupted flow) model with detailed
performance estimates.
* Short Lane Model calibration options.
* Option to exclude lane blockage effects on capacity reduction in
Network analysis.
* Option to exclude Saturation Flow estimation for user-specified
saturation flows.
* Timing Analysis report enhancements with detailed information on
Pedestrian Actuation and Phase Actuation analyses.
* Multiple Phase Sequence analysis in Site timing calculations.
* Clearance 1 parameter for Pedestrian Timing calculations.
_User Interface Features_
* Map Extract tool to create new Sites from OpenStreetMap (OSM).
* Pedestrian Crossing (Zebra/Unsignalised) as a new Site type for
midblock locations.
* New graphical Interactive Ofsets function using Time-Distance
displays for the user to modify Offsets towards achieving two-way
signal progressions.
* Time-Distance displays with two-way signal coordination.
* Enhanced Signal Offset calculations with continuous movements.
* Layout picture improvements including variable size and elliptical
shapes for roundabouts, Strip Island connections and layer order for
vertical position of roads.
* User interface changes:
* New tab and ribbon structure (Network and Route tabs combined;
separate output tabs for Sites, Networks, Routes and Network Sites).
* New Project Pane Structure (Folders to group Sites, Networks and
Routes; Routes belonging to each Network appearing under the Network
in a tree structure; SITES & CCGs IN NETWORK / ON ROUTE sections
indicating CCGs and their Sites in a tree structure; colour strips to
indicate the Diagnostics status).
* New functions Export Site, Export Network, Delete Network with
Sites, Import Phase Sequence.
* PDF Output function to save the output reports and displays in a
PDF report.
* New and significantly enhanced Site, Network and Route output
reports and displays including Queue Analysis, Pedestrian Analysis,
Timing Analysis, Multiple Sequence Analysis, Fuel Emissions & Cost.
* Approach Displays, Lane Displays, Movement Displays, Lane Flows,
Movement Flows displays available for Sites, Networks and Routes
consistently.
* CCG reports and displays showing all CCG Sites in the same report
or display.
* New Category Setup facility under the Tools tab.
* Manage tab with new Customise Output, Displays, Site Output,
Interface and Layout dialogs. Customise Output allows the user to
control output sections (choose to include or not) and define Page
Breaks in output reports and displays.
* Various other new features.
TARGET AUDIENCE

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT SIDRA TRAINING WORKSHOPS
The SIDRA INTERSECTION software is an advanced micro-analytical
traffic evaluation tool that employs lane-by-lane and vehicle path
models. It is for use as an aid for design and evaluation of
individual intersections and networks of intersections. It can be used
to analyse signalised intersections, roundabouts (unsignalised, with
metering signals, and fully-signalised), two-way stop sign and
give-way / yield sign control, all-way stop sign control, signalised
and unsignalised pedestrian crossings, single point interchanges
(signalised), freeway diamond interchanges (signalised, roundabout,
sign control), diverging diamond interchanges and other alternative
intersections and interchanges.
SIDRA INTERSECTION training workshops will help you enjoy the power of
analysis to find solutions to intersection and network problems.
During 2000-2019, Akcelik and Associates and its accredited
representatives ran 370 training workshops across Australia, New
Zealand, USA, Canada, Malaysia, Brazil and many countries in Europe
and Middle East with about 7,000 delegates attending. In evaluation of
these training workshops, the trainees rated various aspects of the
workshops and the SIDRA INTERSECTION software very highly.
