PICADY Based Junction Capacity Analysis

Project Title:

Junction Capacity Analysis using PICADY Software (Transportation Engineering Report)


---

Project Description:

We are seeking a Transportation Engineering expert to carry out a junction capacity analysis and prepare a professional report in line with client requirements.

Project Overview:
Our team has been appointed as the Transportation Engineering consultants for a planning application. The main task involves assessing the capacity of the Weeping Willow Tree cross junction and preparing a report to support the planning proposal.

Scope of Work:

1. Crash Data Analysis

Use www.crashmap.co.uk to record the number of fatal, serious, and slight accidents (including casualties) that occurred within a 150m radius of the junction (David Lane & Vernon Road).

Focus on data from 2019 to 2023.

Provide a brief commentary on findings.



2. Traffic Data Extraction

Extract necessary traffic flow data from provided figures (Figure 1 & Figure 2) for the junction capacity analysis.



3. Capacity Analysis (Main Task)

Perform a capacity analysis of the Weeping Willow Tree cross junction using PICADY software (Priority Intersection Capacity and Delay).

Use the provided drawing: Weeping Willow_WITHOUT stop lines.dwg.

Conduct the modelling in Advanced Mode within PICADY.

Follow the Manual for Streets 2 guidelines for interpretation and recommendations.




Assumptions:

Assume A to D traffic blocks A to C traffic by 2 PCUs.


Deliverables:

PICADY model files.

Detailed capacity analysis report (including methodology, results, and interpretation).

Commentary on crash data findings.

Requirements:

Proven experience with PICADY software (Priority Intersection Capacity and Delay analysis).

Background in Transportation Engineering / Civil Engineering.

Ability to interpret and present traffic data clearly.

Familiarity with UK traffic standards and Manual for Streets 2.
