Konu(lar): Özet: 'ABSTRACT For a modern society to work efficiently, an effective transport system is required. Transportation has been an essential part of a country's infrastructural development from the onset. After the 19th century, the world witnessed a massive population explosion resulting in high demand for creative solutions to the challenges and difficulties that arose with overpopulation. For further understanding of problem, we examined how people are affected by traffic congestion. The case study examined Irbid City, Jordan, where traffic congestion proved to be heinous, partly due to the increasing population of refugees; hence a traffic management system was required to help address this problem. We used SIDRA intersection to help analyse the bottleneck on -HASHME and ARAR‖ street intersection in the centre of old Irbid City. In this study the four lanes of the intersection were analysed using SIDRA intersection to determine the correct geometric dimensions required to accommodate demand, determine the degree of congestion, fuel consumption due to time spent in traffic, economic impact due to delays, environmental impact of Carbon dioxide in the air, growth factor and other future forecasts. The data was recorded using the -Manual volumetric traffic count method‖, and video recording for better accuracy of the data collected. The Data was collected during the morning rush hour (between 9 am to 11 am), and later in the afternoon (between 1 pm to 3 pm) when people returned from the Central Business District (CBD).The results illustrated that option 2 which involved changing the geometry of the intersection by constructing a roundabout of 20 meters and 2 lanes is a better option in reducing traffic delay in the area of analysis. The results showed that only option 3 that included changing the geometry of the intersection by constructing a roundabout of 30 meter diameter and 3 lanes is a feasible option and hence option 1 and 2 should be disregarded. Keywords: SIDRA Software, Transportation System, Volumetric Traffic Counts, Population Growth, Traffic Analysis, Environmental Emissions.'
