Aimsun Next About Aimsun Next Editions
Aimsun Next is a multi-resolution, multi-modal modeling tool.
Simulate mobility on any scale from whole regions to cities, zones, subnetworks, and all the way down to highways, corridors and individual junctions.
Pro edition
The Pro edition comes in three flavors: Pro Micro, Pro Meso and Pro TDM (for strategic modeling).
Only pay for the functionality that you need, but still enjoy access to the full Aimsun Next platform and unlimited network size.
Advanced edition
For super-sized, complex applications of any kind: access static and dynamic (equilibrium) traffic assignment, mesoscopic, microscopic and hybrid micro-meso and meso-macro simulation along with OD matrix manipulation tools – all in a single, integrated environment.
Expert edition
Our most powerful edition: all the benefits of Advanced, but with the addition of four-step travel demand modeling!
This single software package covers an entire transportation modeling project of any scale, from entering raw geographical and socio-economic data all the way through to simulation.
