Abstract

Computer simulation has become an important tool for evaluating transportation strategies quickly and efficiently. Simulation is especially critical in assessing the potential of innovative traffic control alternatives. The main objective of this study is to evaluate and improve at signalized Intersection in Amman City in Jordan. Dallah Sahab intersection was chosen for this study. The excessive traffic volumes, during the peak periods (in morning and evening), of vehicles that enter the intersection increase traffic density, reduce travel speed, increase travel time, and increase the delay values. In this study, the intersection will be analyzed using SIDRA INTERSECTION 5.0 software to evaluate the current situation and predicate the LOS, then suggest a suitable solution to make the intersection more efficient get a higher level of service, and reduce the delay will have proposed not for the current and design period. The operational analysis of the existing conditions of this intersection by SIDRA INTERSECTION 5.0 software indicates that the LOS of it equal to (E) with an intersection delay value of 65 sec/vehicle and a degree of saturation exceeds 1.0.
