Aimsun TSS-Transport Simulation Systems’ (TSS) Traffic Software
TSS-Transport Simulation Systems’ (TSS) 16 Aimsun traffic simulation software, capable of fusing static, dynamic and hybrid approaches within a single environment, will be a feature of the company’s participation at the ITS World Congress. But it is a sister application, Aimsun Online, that will grab a lot of attention from delegates and not just because it provides a real-time decision support system for traffic management. Its dynamic, high-speed simulation of large areas allows traffic operators to accurately forecast the future network flow patterns that will result from a particular traffic management or information provision strategy.

TSS will be highlighting the fact that, among other projects, Aimsun Online has been selected as the simulation-based subsystem in the decision support system (DSS) demonstrator in a prestigious integrated corridor management (ICM) project for the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), in California. Expected to go live in spring 2013, the DSS is a ‘smart’ traffic management system that will give system managers comprehensive awareness of the performance of the entire corridor. TSS says it will also allow them to take proactive steps to prevent system breakdown using enhanced controls across devices such as traffic signals, ramp meters, and message signs.

    Live e-Call emergency call system on show at ITS World Congress
    ITS Romania will host on its stand a live eCall demonstrator that will present the eCall system implemented at national level during the Harmonised eCall European pilot project. eCall enables a vehicle to automatically dial Europe’s 112 emergency phone number in case of a severe accident, while sending a Minimum Set of Data to the most appropriate Public Service Answering Point (PSAP). The Romanian eCall live demonstrator will show how an eCall is being handled by the 112 PSAP. This will be done by setting
