ABSTRACT

This paper summarises some of the main modelling and interface developments made recently in the AIMSUN microscopic traffic simulator to provide a better response to the requirements for the assessment of ITS systems, advanced transport analysis and ATMS. The description addresses two main areas: improvements on the dynamic assignment capabilities, and the embedding of the simulator in the AIMSUN/ISM (Intermodal Strategy Manager) a versatile graphic environment for model manipulation and simulation based traffic analysis and evaluation of advanced traffic management strategies. AIMSUN/ISM includes two specific tools, the Scenario Analysis Module to generate and simulate the traffic management strategies, and the (ODTool) to generate and manipulate the Origin-Destination matrices describing the mobility patterns required by the dynamic analysis of traffic conditions. The matrix calculation procedures have been implemented on basis to a flexible interface with the EMME/2 transport planning software.
