Evaluation and Analysis of Traffic Flow at Signalized Intersections in Nicosia Using of SIDRA 5 Software
Journal Title: Jurnal Kejuruteraan - Year 2018, Vol 30, Issue 2
Abstract
Traffic congestion on road networks and signalized intersections have posed signifi cant problems worldwide. One of the signifi cant ways to reduce traffi c congestion in cities is by improving the public transportation system. Therefore, it is essential to use advanced software tools to ensure that the current system can be controlled and evaluated. This study was aimed at assessing and analysing the performance of traffi c flow at signalized intersections and roundabouts at peak hours in the city of Nicosia (northern part of the island) using the SIDRA INTERSECTION 5 software. It was also aimed at comparing the performance of traffi c flow during the morning and evening peak hours at four intersections and two roundabouts. The parameters used to assess the performance of the traffi c flow were the level of service, delays and delayed travel speed, performance index, operating cost, fuel consumption, and carbon dioxide emission. It was found that the SIDRA INTERSECTION software was able to give an estimate of the current situation of traffi c flow in the city. The results showed that the level of service was low, resulting in low speeds and lots of delays during the evening and morning peak hours. The delay was up to 9318.9 seconds and the fuel consumption was nearly 1431.6 lit/h, while the CO2 emission was up to 3594.7 kg/h.
