Synchro
Synchro is a macroscopic analysis and optimization software application. Synchro supports the Highway Capacity Manual’s (HCM) 6th Edition, 2010 and 2000 for signalized intersections, unsignalized intersections and roundabouts. Synchro also implements the Intersection Capacity Utilization method for determining intersection capacity. Synchro’s signal optimization routine allows the user to weight specific phases, thus providing users more options when developing signal timing plans. Synchro supports multiple scenarios to a single file. Because the software is easy to use, traffic engineers are modeling within days, thus adding to the number of reasons why Synchro remains the leading traffic analysis application.

SimTraffic
SimTraffic is a powerful, easy-to-use traffic simulation software application. SimTraffic performs micro-simulation and animation of vehicular and pedestrian-related traffic. With SimTraffic, individual vehicles are modeled and displayed traversing a street network. SimTraffic models signalized and unsignalized intersections, as well as freeway sections with cars, trucks, pedestrians, and buses. Unlike a number of other modeling applications, SimTraffic animation is displayed while the simulation is performed. Data entry is intuitive and efficient. With a single mouse click, any data set created with Synchro can be used to run simulations within SimTraffic.
3D Viewer
Within 3D Viewer, users may utilize supplied models within the viewer’s library or add their own .3ds models to customize their scene. It is as close to reality as you can get without standing in the middle of an intersection.

Intersection Capacity Utilization
The intersection capacity utilization (ICU) method is more precise and less subject to manipulation, and is intended to be used in planning applications, such as future roadway design and site impact studies. The ICU objective function is volume-to-capacity ratios, rather than delay; it is designed to measure the true capacity of an intersection. The ICU is designed to be used in conjunction with delay-based methods, such as Synchro and those in the Highway Capacity Manual, to give an overall picture of intersection performance.
Trafficware publishes Intersection Capacity Utilization—Evaluation Procedures for Intersections and Interchanges, 2003 Edition, as a reference book. The 2003 Edition includes improved modeling of permitted left turns from shared lanes. The edition also contains new methodologies for analyzing diamond interchanges and single-point urban interchanges(SPUIs).
