The '''Canadian Capacity Guide for Signalized Intersections''' ('''CCG''') is a publication of the [[Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers]] (CITE).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cite7.org/index.php# |title=ArchivedCanadian copyInstitute of Transportation Engineers |access-date=2009-12-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091110202626/http://www.cite7.org/index.php# |archive-date=2009-11-10 |url-status=dead }}</ref> It provides a [[methodology]] that allows [[Traffic engineering (transportation)|Traffic Engineers]] to plan, design, and evaluate [[Traffic light|traffic signal]] controlled [[Intersection (road)|roadway intersections]].

The CCG has been based on the current experience of practicing traffic engineers, transportation educators and students across Canada, and a considerable body of Canadian and international research. But while developed in Canada, its methodology is applicable to conditions anywhere. The survey procedures included in the CCG provide direction for users in any country to collect local data which can be used to obtain geographically specific results.

==CITE & ITE==

The Canadian Capacity Guide for Signalized Intersections has been developed as a special project of the [[Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers]] or CITE. This organization is composed of more than 1,700 transportation engineers, planners, technologists and students across Canada.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cite7.org/index.php# |title=ArchivedCanadian copyInstitute of Transportation Engineers |access-date=2009-12-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091110202626/http://www.cite7.org/index.php# |archive-date=2009-11-10 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

CITE comprises District 7 of the [[Institute of Transportation Engineers]], which consists of transportation professionals in more than 70 countries who are responsible for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods on streets, highways and transit systems.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ite.org/ |title=Home |website=ite.org}}</ref>

==Software Tools==

The CITE has sanctioned the development of a 3rd party software solution, '''InterCalc''', that fully supports the CCG methodology.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.intercalc.ca/ |title=ArchivedInterCalc copy- BA Group Transportation Consultants |access-date=2009-12-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100515235204/http://www.intercalc.ca/ |archive-date=2010-05-15 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In addition, '''PTV Vistro''', developed by [https://www.ptvgroup.com/en-us/solutions/products/ptv-vistro/ PTV Group], has integrated the Canadian Capacity Guide (CCG) methods into the software since the release of Version 6. This integration allows users to analyze small to large signalized urban networks in a modern traffic analysis software platform.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ptvgroup.com/en-us/solutions/products/ptv-vistro/|title = PTV Vistro new|date = 26 January 2021}}</ref>
