SOETRA TrafficLab
A specialized road engineering tool developed by SOETRA for the quantitative analysis of traffic flows using classic traffic models.
Main features:
Automatic calculation of spatial mean speed, density, traffic flow, and road capacity based on the Greenshields, Greenberg, and Underwood models.
Interactive graphing of speed-density, flow-density, and speed-flow curves, with visualization of critical points (peak flow, congestion density).
Generation of technical reports in PDF format, including results tables, exportable graphs, input parameters, and capacity conclusions.
Data export in compatible formats (CSV, Excel) for external analysis.
Technical features:
Interface adapted for traffic engineers, urban planners, and students.
Range validation (density from 0 to congestion, realistic speeds).
Numerical methods for solving implicit equations (e.g., velocity from Greenshield flow).
Compatible with metric and imperial units.
Modular design for future inclusion of additional models (Van Aerde, Pipes, etc.).
Applications:
Road capacity analysis.
Infrastructure design and evaluation.
Academic and research studies.
Optimization of urban mobility plans.
Key advantage: Integrates calculation, visualization, and the professional documentation required for transportation engineering projects into a single platform.
Calculate, graph and generate PDF reports of vehicular flow models.
