Synchro 8 Get signals, intersections, bells & whistles. Synchro® is a macroscopic analysis and optimization software application. Synchro® implements the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) 2003 method for determining intersection capacity. Version 8 also supports the HCM 2010 methodology for signalized intersections and roundabouts. Due to ease-of-use, traffic engineers are modeling within days thus adding to the number of reasons Synchro® remains the leading traffic analysis application. Synchro vs Synchro Light Synchro Light has a limit of 10 intersections per file. Optimizations and reports cannot be created for files with more than 10 intersections. Synchro® allows for a large number of intersections (up to 9,999 nodes). Synchro Light does not transfer to CORSIM, but does transfer to an HCS file. Both will transfer to SimTraffic®. HCM 2010 (Signals and Roundabouts) Analysis of multilane roundabouts. Implementation of multimodal operations for signalized intersections (auto, pedestrian, bike) Imported Maps for Background Aerials This new feature allows importing map images via Bing(tm) of actual location aerials, ensuring appropriate scaling and positioning within the Synchro® network. This easy-to-use tool is implemented as a wizard to step users through the process of adding images straight from the Internet. Begin by navigating the map or entering the address of an intersection within your network.
