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.
