The pilot will use the Aimsun Live solution to analyse real-time traffic data and historic travel patterns to predict what will happen on the road network in the upcoming 60 minutes and help traffic operators make informed decisions on how to use ITS solutions such as changing signal timings or suggesting alternative routes, to mitigate congestion and keep traffic flowing smoothly.
“We have a long working relationship with NPRA, and Bergen already has an Aimsun Next microscopic model, which will form the base for the Aimsun Live project,” commented Aimsun’s regional Managing Director, Gavin Jackman. “Transport modelling has proved to be invaluable in planning the way people and goods move around a city – Bergen is now taking this to the next level by using prediction.”
Aimsun will work with NPRA and their local consultant, COWI, to deliver this pilot in spring 2021, ready for evaluation over the spring and summer.
