Comparative data analysis in Aimsun Next
Marga Delgado explains how a good data comparison tool is the foundation of our ability to evaluate and analyze differences between simulation results and therefore, make strong, well-supported decisions about transportation network design and management.
Comparing the impact of route choice changes
Tessa Hayman explains how to analyze route choice changes between schemes tested using microscopic, mesoscopic and hybrid network loading.
Unlocking the power of Path Assignment Plans
Marga Delgado explains how the the Path Assignment Plan feature in Aimsun Next gives you unparalleled flexibility in reusing previously calculated paths.
Table View – review of all functionalities
Marga Delgado explains how the Table View in Aimsun Next is a powerful tool that can boost efficiency across all stages of a modelling project: when editing, when calibrating and when reviewing the final results.
Select link analysis for schemes
Tessa Hayman explains that when appraising schemes, it can be useful to understand how different schemes may interact with each other. This can help you understand any potential synergy between schemes and identify a subset of scenarios to test with fully detailed modelling.
How to get matrix development outputs for UK Department for Transport standards (TAG).
Tessa Hayman explains how you can use the new functionalities in Aimsun Next 23 to create outputs for monitoring changes during matrix development as outlined in the UK’s Transport Appraisal Guidance (TAG).
Creating accessibility maps with Aimsun Next
Marga Delgado explains how to use the Isochrones tool in Aimsun Next to generate accessibility maps for different transportation modes and different criteria as distance or travel time and how accessibility maps can help assess the impact of new roads or transit services.
Using space-time diagrams for calibration
Dimitris Triantafyllos explains how to create speed contour plots in Aimsun Next to show the time, location, and subsequent propagation and dispersal of congestion on the highway.
How to visualize matrix trip totals and desire lines
October 2019: Margarida Delgado explains where to find matrix cell values, and how to visualize desire lines and total trips per centroid.
