AIMSUN NG is specially suited to support Traffic Management Strategies expanding the functionalities of classic transportation applications from traffic analysis to support management operation.

AIMSUN NG presents to the user the basic building blocks to create powerful strategies:

• Rerouting (By origin, by destination, by vehicle type)
• Speed modification (by vehicle type)
• Lane closure (by vehicle type)
• Incident creation
• Control plan modification

These building blocks, called actions in AIMSUN NG, can be combined to create both the management strategies and to mimic the current traffic conditions.

The activation of one or several actions can be started when the simulation scenario starts, at a fixed instant during the scenario simulation or due to the traffic conditions.
This last possibility allows the implementation of strategies that are applied automatically by expert systems.

The combination of actions and the three different possibilities to activate them makes AIMSUN NG the perfect tool for the evaluation of Traffic Management Strategies.
