Aimsun Online Intelligence for traffic management

Aimsun Online is the only commercial solution in today’s market that can inform, in real time, important traffic forecasting and management decisions based on dynamic simulations of large areas.

Aimsun Online is the culmination of a research programme that started over 20 years ago. Several research projects, tens of scientific publications and, most importantly, hundreds of traffic engineering projects have driven its development. Far from being a fancy concept, Aimsun Online is already implemented and able to inform important operational decisions in the cities of Singapore and Madrid.

Aimsun Online is an ideal choice for online forecasting and traffic management applications of any scale and complexity: from the provision of highly visual information on the web to concrete, properly elaborated operational decisions with far-reaching implications.

Aimsun Online is built on the Aimsun platform and inherits its unique ability to fuse static and dynamic approaches within a single software application. The blistering performance of its simulations allows it to handle dynamic models of major world cities. The OD-Matcher and Quality Manager modules ensure that what is being simulated reflects the actual state of the network. A wealth of standard interfaces with adaptive control systems and extensive programming tools allow it to slot right into the traffic control centre.

To complement its expertise, reduce deployment risks and provide local support TSS is working with a number of leading engineering consultancies worldwide.

A host of new applications

The ability to forecast future traffic conditions based on the actual state of the network being managed opens up unprecedented possibilities in:

• Online travel information systems
• Dynamic emergency vehicle routing
• Emissions management
• Accident response strategy assessments
• Urban and interurban congestion management
• Security threat mitigation and large-scale evacuation management

Aimsun Online may be easily customised to provide the type of information required for a particular application in the preferred format.
