TSS is pleased to announce a partnership with Legion, creator of Legion Studio, to create an integrated solution for pedestrians and vehicle simulation models.

Legion Studio 2006 is the world´s most widely adopted and advanced software for the planning, design and 3D visualisation of spaces for pedestrians. Aimsun is the world´s leading software, and the most technically advanced tool for planning, management and visualisation of traffic.

The first result of this collaboration will be a new module for Legion Studio called "Aimsun for Legion", which will be developed by TSS, the creators of Aimsun. The module will allow creation of simulation models of people and vehicles in 2D and 3D to allow efficient, integrated plan testing before implementation. This most innovative integration of tools brings a new level of convenience and cost saving.

"This is exactly what architects, engineers, urban planners, and transport engineers around the world have been crying out for – a single tool capable of modelling all forms of mobility in cities,” says Legion’s CTO Dr Alex Gerodimos. “Combining our expertise with TSS’s means we can meet that need faster, producing software to a higher standard and with more functionality than anything either company could produce independently.”

“Planners have long wanted pedestrians and cars to make peace. Poorly designed and overloaded schemes put people at odds, and even in danger," says Managing Director of TSS, Jaime L. Ferrer. "With cities mushrooming, it’s increasingly important to accommodate these two forms of mobility in our schemes. To date, no single framework has supported the detailed assessments of both walking and driving patterns and their interactions. ‘Aimsum for Legion’ is the prelude to a series of joint products that will put paid to the ‘work-arounds’ that have been used in the past. By combining the power of Legion and TSS, it will be possible to arrive at schemes that work for both drivers and pedestrians, faster and more reliably; our cities should flow better as a result.”
