Synchro 8

Get signals, intersections, bells & whistles.

Synchro is a macroscopic analysis and optimization software application. Synchro implements the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) 2003 method for determining intersection capacity. Version 8 also supports the HCM 2010 methodology for signalized intersections and roundabouts. Due to ease-of-use, traffic engineers are modeling within days thus adding to the number of reasons Synchro remains the leading traffic analysis application.

Imported Maps for Background Aerials

This new feature allows importing map images via Bing(tm) of actual location aerials, ensuring appropriate scaling and positioning within the Synchro network.
This easy-to-use tool is implemented as a wizard to step users through the process of adding images straight from the Internet. Begin by navigating the map or entering the address of an intersection within your network.

Improved Map View and Preview Windows

New options allow for more flexibility in displaying street names and volumes within the Map View window.
Show/hide backgrounds to keep the PC memory footprint reasonable.
Dock the Tool Bar either left or right, based upon user preference.
Quickly display the Level of Service (LOS) values for each movement.
Use the updated Print Preview window with the new Zoom tool to preview reports, the map window, and time-space diagram in a larger or smaller scale prior to printing

Modeling and Simulation

New and updated parameters (Mandatory Stop on Yellow, Link is Hidden, Cycle Length, Maximum Split) give more flexibility to emulate ramp meters, security gates, mid-block pedestrian crossings, rail crossings, and draw bridges.











	Synchro vs Synchro Light Synchro Light has a limit of 10 intersections per file. Optimizations and reports cannot be created for files with more than 10 intersections. Synchro allows for a large number of intersections (up to 9,999 nodes). Synchro Light does not transfer to CORSIM, but does transfer to an HCS file. Both will transfer to SimTraffic.
