Priority Intersection Capacity and Delay<\/h3>\n

Prediction of capacities, queues, delays and accidents at isolated priority junctions<\/p>\n

PICADY is available as the\u00a0Priority Intersection Module\u00a0in\u00a0Junctions 10.<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_single_image source=”featured_image” img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1520349311460{margin-top: -20px !important;margin-bottom: -20px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row margin_top=”20″ type=”1″][vc_column width=”7\/12″][vc_column_text]PICADY is based on over three decades of research and development by TRL and is used for predicting capacities, queues, delays (both queueing and geometric) and accident risk at priority intersections.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Three and four-arm\u00a0unsignalised\u00a0give-way intersections are modelled using well-established TRL\/Kimber capacity relationships (the PICADY Model), which\u00a0<\/span>take into account<\/span>\u00a0key geometries such\u00a0as;\u00a0road widths, visibility, the space available for traffic making an offside turn, and so on. This empirical framework intrinsically links priority junction geometry to driver behaviour and in turn to predicted capacities, queues and delays.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The PICADY model is used extensively throughout the UK and around the world.\u00a0Its\u00a0simple interface means that it can be used effectively by small consultancy companies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
