Roundabout Capacity And DelaY) This software, produced by theTransport Research Laboratory (UK), provides information ontraffic flow including modelling capacity queues and delays at roundabouts. The software is based on formulae which were the result of extensive research carried out on existingroundabout s on the UK road network, as well as controlled test track trials. [MTJ Engineering 4/03/2005 [http://www.mtjengineering.com/documents/RoundaboutCapacitySoftwareSummary.pdf ARCADY and RODEL information] ]The program is intended for use by traffic engineers when assessing existing layouts or when assessing the impacts of proposed design changes.
ARCADY is listed in the UK's design manual for roads and bridges. [Highways Agency TA44/92 [http://www.standardsforhighways.co.uk/dmrb/vol5/section1/ta4492.pdf UK Design Manual For Roads] ]
ARCADY is similar to
RODEL and utilises the same equations from TRL. [MTJ Engineering 4/03/2005 [http://www.mtjengineering.com/documents/RoundaboutCapacitySoftwareSummary.pdf ARCADY and RODEL compared] ]External links
