3. OBJECTIVE OF SIDRA INTERSECTION The objective of SIDRA INTERSECTION is to provide transportation engineers and planners with a comprehensive software tool for analyzing, designing, and optimizing traffic intersections. the key objectives of SIDRA INTERSECTION: Traffic Flow Analysis : SIDRA INTERSECTION allows users to model and analyze the flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic at intersections. By simulating various traffic scenarios, users can assess intersection performance metrics such as delay, queuing, level of service, and capacity.. Intersection Design : facilitThe software ates the design of efficient and safe intersection layouts by considering factors such as geometric configurations, lane assignments, signal timings, and pedestrian facilities. Engineers can explore different design alternatives and evaluate their effectiveness in meeting traffic demands.

4. Signal Timing Optimization : SIDRA INTERSECTION enables users to optimize signal timings and phasing plans to minimize delays, reduce congestion, and improve overall intersection efficiency. By adjusting signal parameters such as cycle length, green times, and coordination strategies, engineers can enhance traffic flow and operational performance. Research and Education : SIDRA INTERSECTION serves as a valuable tool for conducting research studies and educational activities in the field of transportation engineering. Researchers can use the software to investigate innovative intersection designs, evaluate emerging technologies, and analyze the effectiveness of traffic management measures.
