Trafficware Increases Speed of World Leading Synchro Traffic Optimization Software


In advance of the Institute of Transportation Engineers Annual Meeting that opens Sunday in Toronto, Trafficware (Booth #103) announces the release of version 10.1 of its flagship Synchro® Traffic Analysis, Simulation and Optimization software, used in more than 90 countries.

The new database platform provides improved speed and stability with upwards of 20-50% increase in speed for some operations. Earlier in the year, Synchro plus SimTraffic® Software launched the completely revamped version 10. The release represents the company's commitment to bringing improved technology at a regular six-month cadence. Version 10.1 is also a free upgrade for all Synchro 10 customers.

Theresa Rohlfs, Synchro product manager, adds, "Today, technology evolves at a rapid pace. With the move towards Smart Cities and government-driven initiatives, our loyal and worldwide customers mus have the best-in-class traffic simulation and optimization software possible."



Rohlfs, who is also lead trainer for Trafficware University, will hold classroom demonstrations during the upcoming Institute of Transportation Engineers Annual Meeting in Trafficware's Booth #103. Engineers will be able to see the system improvements first hand.

Beyond speed, the version includes even more additions to the look and feel, like an updated color scheme complementing the new ribbon bars and updated design, adding to the ease of use. Customer comments also contributed to the latest release and will remain vital in upcoming releases.


Synchro Version 10 and higher supports the Highway Capacity Manual's (HCM) 6th Edition, 2010 and 2000 for signalized intersections, un-signalized intersections and roundabouts. Synchro software also implements the Intersection Capacity Utilization method for determining intersection capacity. Synchro's signal optimization routine allows the user to weight specific phases, thus providing users more options when developing signal timing plans. Because the software is easy to use, traffic engineers are modeling within a very short time, thus adding to the number of reasons why Synchro optimization software remains the leading traffic analysis application.
