TSS-Transport Simulation Systems will be showcasing 16 Aimsun 7, the latest version of its traffic modelling software. Capable of running simulation models of large metropolitan areas much faster than real time, Aimsun now has nearly 2,000 licensed users in universities, consultancies and governments in over 60 countries.

The most significant of the new software features will undoubtedly be the hybrid simulator, which allows users and developers to take a simultaneous mesoscopic and microscopic approach and combines the benefits of both at minimal performance cost. At the Aimsun stand TSS will also be talking about the developments in Aimsun Online, the company's unique simulation-based real-time traffic management application, which is now being deployed in support of innovative Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) initiatives in the USA.

Here, we revisit the Celldar concept. Global economic downturn has pushed public-sector agencies, transport administrations among them, to push even harder for cost efficiencies. Unfortunately, when it comes to transport safety and efficiency the public sector often has to work up to a cost rather than

    A combination of technologies is leading to major congestion and cost reductions during roadworks on the UK’s motorway network. Innovative construction programme scheduling technology and the deployment of moveable barriers has achieved substantial savings of money and time on UK motorway roadworks managed by the Highways Agency (HA). This combination has set the scene for a new generation of road usage analysis tools. The HA’s objective was to reduce the congestion caused by lane closures during roa

    Jason Barnes examines the trend towards single source supply of complete tolling and traffic management solutions with some senior tolling industry figures. Only a few years back, the major tolling system suppliers were aggressively positioning themselves as one-stop shops for tolling solutions and operations. No sooner has that little flurry of innovation settled than another trend has emerged – tolling companies wanting to become major ITS suppliers as well. Various tolling company seniors have in recent
