205: 283: 102: 22: 294:(Priority Intersection Capacity and Delay) is a program for modelling three and four arm priority junctions in a similar manner to ARCADY. It is based on empirical relationships which link capacity and safety with road geometric parameters such as carriageway widths and visibilities. These relationships are discussed in the UK 334:
OSCADY (Optimized Signal Capacity and Delay) calculates and simulates capacities, queues and delays for isolated (uncoordinated), traffic signal-controlled junctions. It can evaluate a set of known signal timings, and optionally it can optimize stage lengths and/or cycle time to minimize delay. These

PICADY 10 offers the ability to calibrate models in all circumstances, by applying adjustments to the model’s individual traffic movement raw capacities. Models applicable to North America allow users to set up and model Two-Way Stop Controlled (TWSC) and All-Way Stop Controlled (AWSC) intersections.
273:
ARCADY 10 is now fully integrated and available as a module within Junctions. Updates include a number of new modelling scenarios to be evaluated, such as priority chicanes and one-ways. North American users also have the option of using the HCM 2010 model (using HCM 2016 roundabout coefficients) to

allow the performance of simple adaptive signal control to be estimated. This model can be applied to temporary signals (such as at roadworks) and some control over the controller logic is provided in order to mimic behaviour whenever there is no demand at any point within the modelled time period.
346:
Optionally, signalized junctions can be evaluated in Lane Simulation mode which offers additional functionality, such as the ability to model intermittent stages and partially signalized junctions, including signalized roundabouts. In Junctions 10 the simulation mode capability has been extended to
342:
OSCADY is intended to be used at relatively simple signalized junctions (or temporary signals at road works) where the emphasis is on setting up model runs quickly and easily, but can model junctions that include flared approaches and opposed right turns. Its integration with ARCADY and PICADY

PICADY is used to assess priority junction designs such as this T-junction. There are no signals here so right of way is determined by the road markings. The double-dashed line indicates that the grey car should give way to any oncoming

The program is used by traffic engineers when assessing existing layouts or when analysing the impacts of proposed design changes. Estimates of annual accident frequencies can also be obtained. The key outputs are the

2010 methodology for roundabout analysis was made available. ARCADY 8 also introduced a simulation technique to deal with the modelling of certain configurations, such as lane usage at roundabouts.

ARCADY 9 includes built-in tools for graphically measuring roundabout geometries and for assisting with the transfer of traffic flow data from other sources (typically spreadsheets).

The latest version, Junctions 10, was launched on 3 February 2021. 32: 295: 239: 339:.  More recently, an extension to the simulation mode allows the performance of simple adaptive signal control to be estimated. 51: 441: 429: 69: 397: 322:
PICADY 9 includes Highway Capacity Manual 2010 models for Two-Way Stop-Controlled and All-Way Stop-Controlled intersections.

ARCADY is used to assess roundabout designs. Circulating traffic has priority over traffic entering from the approach roads.
