Accurate Junction Modelling for Confident Design and Approval

Data-driven analysis using industry-standard software to support safe and efficient junction design.


At Grange Transport Consulting, we provide detailed Junction Modelling to assess how traffic moves through existing and proposed layouts.


Our modelling supports Transport Assessments, Road Safety Audits, and highway designs by identifying capacity issues, testing mitigation options, and demonstrating alignment with national and local highway standards.

What Is Junction Modelling?


Junction Modelling is the process of analysing how traffic flows through a junction or access point to predict performance under different scenarios.


It is often required by planning authorities or highway engineers to understand whether a proposed development or improvement scheme will operate safely and efficiently.



Our work helps determine:

Current and future junction performance

Queue lengths and delays at peak times

Safety and capacity under design changes

The impact of development-generated traffic

The effectiveness of mitigation measures

By modelling these outcomes accurately, we provide clear evidence that supports design decisions and planning applications.

Our Approach


We use industry-standard tools such as PICADY, ARCADY, and LinSig to simulate the operation of priority, roundabout, and signal-controlled junctions.


Each model is built from real data and validated against site conditions to ensure reliability.

Our team combines technical skill with planning experience to ensure that results are clearly explained and suitable for submission to planning and highway authorities.


We work closely with clients to identify practical solutions that improve capacity, maintain safety, and meet policy objectives.

Types of Junctions We Model


Each plan or pack is customised to the project and may include:

Two curved bands, one grey and one light blue, set against a white background.

Roundabouts (mini, standard, and multi-lane) using ARCADY

Priority junctions and accesses using PICADY

Signalised junctions and networks using LinSig

A curved graphic design element featuring a dark gray arch over a light blue arch, separated by a thin white line.

Ghost island and right-turn lanes

Development site accesses and internal layouts

Whether you need a single access model or a network-wide study, our team can provide proportionate, clear results to support your design and planning case.

Our Process


1

Scope and Data Review

We review your site drawings and confirm modelling requirements.

2

Traffic Data Collection

Survey and forecast data integrated into the model.

3

Model Development

Build and calibrate using PICADY, ARCADY, or LinSig.

4

Testing and Analysis

Assess current, future, and mitigation scenarios.

5

Reporting and Recommendations

Clear outputs and conclusions ready for planning submission.

We provide all outputs, including model files and input sheets, along with a clear technical report suitable for submission to the local authority or National Highways.
