Training

We offer standard and customised Aimsun training, ranging from basic use to advanced programming for research. Most of our European courses are delivered at our offices in Barcelona. Depending on the audience, the course is taught in English, French or Spanish. However, we are happy to schedule on-site training and to customise course content to suit your particular needs. Outside of Europe, we work with our distributors to support your training needs; so far we have run well-attended courses in Australia, Chile, China, Japan and South Africa.

There are two standard courses aimed at new and advanced users, respectively:

Aimsun Foundation Course

This four-day course is for new Aimsun users who want to build models for project work. It covers the following topics:

• The Aimsun environment and modelling objects
• Data inputs and network editing
• Micro-simulation
• Dynamic Traffic Assignment
• Outputs
• Network auditing and calibration
• 3D modelling and visualisation
• Traffic management
• Mesoscopic simulation
• Macroscopic modelling

By the end of the course, trainees have a sound understanding of the most important features of Aimsun Advanced and are able to plan and carry out projects.

Aimsun Advanced Course

This two-day course is for more experienced Aimsun users who want to deepen their knowledge and get the most out of our software. By the end of the course, trainees have an excellent understanding of these advanced topics and are able to harness the power of Aimsun and build high quality models.

Registration fees depend on the course content and location. They include instruction, training materials, lunch and refreshments. For the hands-on exercises, we advise participants to bring their own laptops. Registrations are subject to availability and payment must be received in full in advance of the course.
