TRACKS_LITE has been designed as an easy to use simplified model for use by traffic engineers who need a means of estimating existing and future traffic volumes.

It has been developed specifically to support the link with SIDRA as a low-cost means of integrating the ability of TRACKS to forecast flows with the power of the intersection analysis capabilities of SIDRA. It also provides a way to ‘fill in’ missing counts needed for a SIDRA network using matrix estimation techniques available in TRACKS.
