This discussion group is a forum for licensed users of Aimsun: the integrated transport modelling software by TSS-Transport Simulation Systems.

Aimsun is a singular, integrated environment for static and dynamic transport modelling. It can be used for demand and traffic data analysis; planning; and traffic simulation. Here are some of the things you can do with it:

• Import CAD, GIS, bitmap and planning software data to accelerate the model building process
• Load detection data from on/off-line sources and use it to calibrate Aimsun’s mature and well-documented route choice, car-following and lane-changing models
• Simulate entire cities faster than real time in the micro-simulator; and faster still using the mesoscopic simulator
• Reuse path-assignments between macro, meso and micro models to guarantee consistency and boost productivity
• Control virtually every aspect of the simulation and re-define what’s possible using scripting, the API or the SDK
• Exchange data with traffic management systems off/on-line to optimise control plans and incident response strategies
• Produce informative time series analyses, insightful thematic maps or impressive 3D animations quickly and easily
