Developing a Multilevel Decision Support Tool for Urban Mobility
Towards ML-based real-time traffic simulation
Examining Road Safety Impacts of Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory (GLOSA) System
GLOSA paper wins award at Road Safety Conference
June, 2022: Aimsun is co-winner of the Best Road Safety Idea Award at the Road Safety and Simulation 2022 Conference in Athens!
Aimsun team wins Masters of Modelling Awards
June, 2022: Congratulations to Dave Keenan and Tessa Hayman, who won the peer-reviewed ‘Masters of Modelling Awards’ at Modelling World 2022!
Side-lane merging in an Aimsun Next mesoscopic model
June 2022: Aimsun Next has a specific mesoscopic merging behavior model that is controlled by the cooperation gap and merging gap parameters. Mohammad Saifuzzaman explains how to use these parameters to control merging behavior and match observed traffic flow and congestion.
Autonomous Vehicles in Urban Networks: A Simulation-Based Assessment
Taking the micro to the macro: scaling impact assessment of connected and autonomous vehicles
How can we represent microscopic simulation results at the macroscopic level? One way is by use of the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) concept, which Aimsun has been progressing within the H2020 LEVITATE Project
Reversible lanes and alternating one-way lanes
May, 2022: In transport networks, the available infrastructure may vary through the day. In this technical note we will review how to close lanes temporarily in one direction so that the other direction can use them
Josep Maria Aymamí wins ITS Spain award
May, 2022: Our head of Business Development in Spain, Josep Maria Aymamí, has been awarded the ITS España 2022 award in the ITS & Smart Cities category
ITS Singapore names Karen Cheung Co-opt Councillor
April, 2022: Our Aimsun Pty Managing Director will serve the Intelligent Transportation Society of Singapore advisory body for the term 2022-23.
Towards agent-based models: simulating multimodal transport systems
How can we explicitly represent, simulate and evaluate within-day behavioural (demand) and operational (supply) dynamics in emerging multi-actor passenger and freight transport systems?
Double Award Win for Abu Dhabi Team
April, 2022: One of our most high-profile projects is the Abu Dhabi hybrid simulation transport model, which is part of the Emirate-wide STEAM+ transport modelling framework.
MFC and Battery Consumption Model
April 2022: The new Microscopic Free-flow aCceleration (MFC) and Battery Consumption Models allow for a more accurate fuel and energy consumption analysis. This technical note walks you through the details of the models and how each parameter affects the vehicle behavior.
Abu Dhabi’s integrated transport modelling framework
March, 2022: In a project of unprecedented scale and complexity, the entire Abu Dhabi Emirate is to be served by a state-of-the-art, all-in-one transport modelling framework, built on the pillars of big data, integrated multi-tier modelling, and visualisation.
Microsimulation parking choice and search model to assess dynamic pricing scenarios
Mobility pattern prediction
Unlike purely data-driven methods, a simulation-based approach enables prediction of traffic states under recurrent conditions but also to predict the impact of incidents or changes to traffic control plans.
Transit Route Change traffic management action
March 2022: A new feature introduced in Next 22 is the Transit Route Change traffic management action. This technical note will go over how to implement the action and ways in which it could be used.
