Abstract
Transportation is the movement of people and goods over time and space. This is an important matter in our lives, and people cannot live without it. Transport enables access for people from their homes to their work, education, health services, shops, and so forth. The transportation system has many problems in Kabul city, such as traffic congestion, lack of reliable and safe public transportation, road accidents, and difficulties for non-motorized transport. Therefore, it is vital to utilise advanced software tools to explore possible solutions to the traffic congestion problem. This study is aimed at evaluating and analysing Shaheed Intersection in Kabul, Afghanistan using the SIDRA INTERSECTION program. It evaluated traffic performance at one of Kabul's most important intersections using parameters such as level of service (LOS), delays, queue, fuel consumption, and CO2, CO, (CH2O) n, and NOx emissions. The results revealed a significant time delay, a hazardous amount of emissions, and a low LOS (F).After a comprehensive investigation of the results, which is essential to build an underpass from east to west that will significantly reduce delays and emissions and increase the LOS until 203.
