SIDRA TRIP is a single-trip micro-simulation model for assessing travel level of service,
performance (delay, speed, travel time), operating cost, user cost, fuel consumption,
vehicle emissions and noise in real-life road networks.
SIDRA TRIP allows analysis of trips of any length as well as selected sections of a trip in a
flexible way. It can use trip data collected by an instrumented vehicle, for example, using a
GPS data logger. SIDRA TRIP can also be used for trip assessment using drive-cycle data
based on speed-change information specified by the user. Simulation can be
performed using default (passenger car, light vehicle, heavy vehicle) or
customised (user-specified) vehicles. Different driver characteristics
can be specified for all vehicle types.
SIDRA TRIP is ideally suited to comparison of traffic and travel conditions before and after
introduction of traffic management schemes, intersection and road improvements, residential
street traffic calming schemes and so on, without need for time-consuming and costly
network data preparation work. It can also be used for assessing intelligent transport system
applications, driver training programs, and vehicle characteristics.
SIDRA TRIP uses a power-based vehicle model to estimate fuel consumption and emissions of Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrocarbons (HC) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx).
