TSS shows Aimsun Online real-time traffic management system
TSS-Transport Simulation Systems is showcasing its Aimsun Online real-time decision support system for traffic management. One of the most high-profile traffic management projects to use Aimsun Online as its prediction engine is the award-winning Interstate 15 Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) project led by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). At the core of the project is the configuration and implementation of a Decision Support System (DSS) using Aimsun Online.

TSS-2195 Transport Simulation Systems is showcasing its 7320 Aimsun Online real-time decision support system for traffic management. One of the most high-profile traffic management projects to use Aimsun Online as its prediction engine is the award-winning Interstate 15 Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) project led by the 1789 San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). At the core of the project is the configuration and implementation of a Decision Support System (DSS) using Aimsun Online.
“The DSS gives system managers comprehensive awareness of the current and predicted performance of the entire corridor,” says Matthew Juckes, senior project manager at TSS. “Now managers can take proactive steps to prevent system breakdown using enhanced controls across devices such as traffic signals, ramp meters, and dynamic message signs.”
Taking it one step further, earlier this year SANDAG completed a ‘Coordinated Test Plan’ for the first ever ‘fully automated’ multi-modal corridor handling of a freeway incident. TSS says this is one of the first times in the US that a traffic management decision has been successfully made entirely based on automatically triggered real-time simulations of the entire multi-modal transportation network.
Another recent innovation to come from the ICM project is the free 511 San Diego mobile application which is available for iOs and 1812 Android. Funded by the 324 US Department of Transportation, the app provides real-time predictions from Aimsun Online and system based advisories, letting users view predictive travel times on I-15; current traffic conditions; MTS bus routes, fares, arrival times; as well as real-time dynamic toll rates for the I-15 Express Lanes. Since its launch in May 2014 it has already had over 25,000 downloads.
Delcan International Corporation will feature its Intelligent NETworks (iNET), a state-of-the-art ATMS application designed to collect, disseminate, and manage transportation information. Built with scalable architecture, INETworks is an adaptable solution for small and large scale deployments. The software is divided into 25 different modules that control different aspects of the traffic system. Customers build their customised systems by using Delcan’s core modules. It is designed to support both standard
Energy management specialist Schneider Electric has launched traffic management solution EcoTrafiX for cities and highways operators.
EcoTrafiX is a suite of equipment, software and services that is designed to allow customers to predict and respond to road problems.
Its component parts include Command TM, which commands real-time city and highway signals and devices; Expert TM, which encompasses several modules to optimise traffic; and Mobility TM, which enables collaboration on events between mu
Managing traffic involves increasingly complex challenges so PTV is here at Intertraffic to advise traffic operators that to make life easier, they should set up their traffic management in future-oriented fashion and rely on a solution which reacts to their network. That solution is PTV Optima which the company is highlighting. “PTV Optima is the key to successful traffic management,” says Koenraad Verduyn, director direct sales traffic software at PTV Group. “This solution offers precise, real-time traffi
