Build 610 Now Available for Download

Trafficware today announced the immediate availability of a new build for Synchro plus SimTraffic 6. With the new build, Trafficware has addressed several significant issues related to queue delays as well as the introduction of a new self- checking update feature. The new build is now available to download for existing users at no charge at www.trafficware.com/downloads.htm.

Based on user feedback and Trafficware internal research, several important changes were made to incorporate the latest findings for the development of build 610. Lead traffic engineer at Trafficware Allen Nie comments, “We have corrected several critical issues that will make the results more accurate in Synchro plus SimTraffic 6. We appreciate all the customer communication in aiding us to improve our software.”

In Synchro, the queue interaction analysis logic is improved in build 610. For example, the concept of partial blockage is introduced. The capacity reduction due to queue spillback is now adequately estimated, reflecting analysis results that are now more accurate. In SimTraffic, simulation has been improved in Build 610 making it more robust than previous updates. Improvements include scenarios where a vehicle were could possibly get stuck on short links and a queue length that was reporting high when vehicles stopped on upstream right turn islands.
