ARCADY AutoTrack Junctions Now Shipping

Date: 23/2/2011

TRL Software and Savoy Computing Services announce the release of the long awaited ARCADY 7 and AutoTrack Junctions Link; an innovative solution that links two market leading products and radically reduces the time required to design roundabouts and allows for more accurate optimum and efficient designs.

Roundabout geometry is designed according to the considerations and constraints of the site; a traffic engineer then analyses the design to assess its operational efficiency. The final design process involves adjusting geometries and re-analysing until both geographical and operational requirements are met. By dynamically linking ARCADY 7 and AutoTrack Junctions and combining the two operations, the time taken to produce efficient and robust roundabout designs is significantly reduced. The link is initiated automatically and the two programs communicate seamlessly to each other. ARCADY 7 provides results such as RFC, Level of Service and values of Queues and Delays which are all displayed in AutoTrack and updated in real time as changes to geometry are made.

Using the link between these two programs one single interactive environment has been created in which all relevant parameters are constantly updated; this allows an engineer to see immediate effects. The iterative nature of this new design process provides reduced design time, improved design efficiency and ultimately reduced costs.

ARCADY 7.1 has been released with several small modifications / fixes and to enable the link. The Link is an additional software product which requires a further licence.

ARCADY 7.1 and the Link are available from TRL Software.

AutoTrack Junctions is available from Savoy Computing Services.
