<p>First released in 1984, it has been under continuous development in response to user feedback.<sup id="cite_ref-ref1_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref1-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref2_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref2-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Version 6.0 released in April 2013 added network modelling capability and new vehicle movement classes. Version 7.0 released in April 2016 included new timing analysis methods for Common Control Groups (multiple intersections operating under one signal controller) and Network Cycle Time and Signal Offset calculations for signal coordination.
</p><p>Version 9.0 released in May 2020 included improved network model processing efficiency and workflow efficiency through substantial user interface enhancements and model improvements.
</p><p>Version 9.1 introduced important traffic model enhancements and extensive user interface and model output improvements including network layout and roundabout layout enhancements, and customised reports and displays. The model enhancements include output by Movement Class, a new Variable Demand model, upstream delay and stop rate model for approach short lanes, the HCM Edition 6 Extended Roundabout Capacity Model and a combined pedestrian actuation and minor phase actuation method for signal timing calculations.
</p><p>The latest Version 10 introduces significant updates and enhancements, including a new future-proof, versionless project file format (.sipx) designed for compatibility, reduced file sizes, and faster processing. It also features efficient volume data management through the new Volume Store, eliminating duplication of Sites and Networks for more streamlined Scenario Analysis. SIDRA MAPS integrates OpenStreetMap (OSM) data for advanced visualisation and site creation directly from map data. The software expands modelling capabilities with new Site Types—Turbo Roundabouts, Arterial Segments, Freeway Segments, and Freeway Segments with Ramps—and enhances signal timing analysis with real-number timings, multiple green periods, and improved performance models. Additional model enhancements include refined queue modelling and a new Exit Merge Queue Model. User interface improvements provide a redesigned ribbon, drag-and-drop functionality, and advanced search and import tools for easier navigation. Additionally, the updated VOLUMES Excel Utility allows seamless integration and processing of volume-related data directly within Excel.

<p>The lane-by-lane capacity and performance analysis method used by Sidra Intersection includes identifying any de facto exclusive lanes, unequal lane utilisation, lane change, modelling of short lanes (turn bays, lanes with parking upstream, and loss of a lane at the exit side) including delays and stops experienced by drivers in the queue upstream of short lane entry, and lane blockage in shared lanes including lanes containing opposed (permitted) turns, slip (bypass) lane movements and turns on red. Intersections and networks can be modelled in detail using this method and signal timings can be determined accordingly with advantages over approach-based and lane group-based methods.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref21_21-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref21-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref22_22-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref22-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref23_23-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref23-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref24_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref24-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref25_25-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref25-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref26_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref26-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Network_model">Network model</h2></div>
<p>SIDRA NETWORK model provides a lane-based congestion modelling tool. It determines the backward spread of congestion as queues on downstream lanes block upstream lanes, and applies capacity constraint to oversaturated upstream lanes; thus limiting the flows entering downstream lanes. These two elements are highly interactive with opposite effects. A network-wide iterative process is used to find a solution that balances these opposite effects.<sup id="cite_ref-ref21_21-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref21-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref22_22-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref22-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref23_23-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref23-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
The lane-based network model provides information about departure and arrival patterns, queue lengths, lane blockage probabilities, backward spread of queues, and so on at a lane level. The model allows for the effect of upstream lane use patterns on downstream signal platoon patterns, in turn affecting the estimates of network performance measures (travel time, delay, back of queue, stop rate). This is important especially in evaluating closely-spaced (paired) intersections and interchanges with high demand flows where vehicles have limited opportunities for lane changing between intersections. Such facilities include staggered T intersections, freeway signalised diamond interchanges, freeway roundabout interchanges, fully signalised roundabouts (including signalised circulating roads), large signalised intersections with wide median storage areas, staged crossings at sign-controlled intersections, intersections with nearby pedestrian crossings, and alternative intersection and interchange configurations such as diverging diamond interchanges (signalised), continuous flow intersections, restricted cross-street U-turns, and so on. The software package offers Network Templates for ease of setting up models of these facilities. The modelling of arrival patterns at downstream approach lanes takes into account implied midblock lane changes. Different movement classes (light and heavy vehicles, buses, large trucks, bicycles, and so on) are treated individually in modelling platoon arrival and departure patterns.<sup id="cite_ref-ref24_24-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref24-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref25_25-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref25-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref26_26-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref26-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Model_calibration">Model calibration</h2></div>
<p>Sidra Intersection provides facilities to calibrate its traffic models for <i>local conditions</i>. It provides software setups with appropriate default systems for different countries, allows the users to prepare customised software setups, provides a sensitivity analysis facility to allow testing of the effect of variations in values of various key parameters, and describes various calibration techniques (including survey methods) in the User Guide.
In particular, the <i>US HCM (Customary and Metric) software setups of </i>SIDRA INTERSECTION are calibrated using model parameters based on the US Highway Capacity Manual (see the section titled "Highway Capacity Manual").
Among many model parameters, the <i>saturation flow</i> parameter for signalized intersections<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the <i>critical gap and follow-up headway</i> parameters for roundabouts that are not signalised<sup id="cite_ref-ref6_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref6-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref32_33-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref32-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref36_40-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref36-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and sign-controlled intersections <sup id="cite_ref-ref16_16-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref16-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ref37_41-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref37-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> are identified as key parameters for calibration to match real-life traffic conditions. At the same time, the <i>queue space (jam spacing)</i> parameter used in <i>back of queue</i> modelling is identified as a key parameter in general due to its role in approach short lane modelling for intersections and lane blockage (queue spillback) modelling for networks.
