The 3264 PTV Group is continuing with its expansion strategy in the Asia-Pacific region, with the opening of a new branch office in Japan. Based in Tokyo, the newly established PTV Japan will officially open its doors on 1 April 2014, offering transport and logistics software and real-time optimisation solutions and services.

Yoshihiko Hashino, a long-standing partner of the PTV Group, is the new sales manager. He will be in charge of local business operations.  He says: "In Japan, where public transport is extremely developed due to the scarcity of land and population density, PTV Vissim and PTV Viswalk, the leading tools for traffic and pedestrian simulation, are used for projects connected to public transport. This includes design and planning of train and metro stations (inside and outside) and airports.”

    New Haven shows small can be beautiful
    Connecticut’s new administration is using smart policy and ITS solutions to bridge social divides. Andrew Bardin Williams investigates. With only 130,000 residents, New Haven can hardly be called a metropolis. Measuring less than 502km (18 square miles), the city is huddled against the coast, squeezed between two mountains (appropriately called East Rock and West Rock) that, at 111m and 213m (366ft and 700ft) respectively, can hardly be called mountains.
