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.
Slovenian numberplate producer Kig is showing its latest high-security production system, Veresis, which is designed to remove the risk of counterfeiting and ensure tight control over a nation’s numberplate production.
Veresis is a software system that covers every aspect of numberplate production, from its creation to its eventual disposal.
A numberplate producer buying the system is linked electronically to the country’s government ministry responsible for vehicle registration.
Germany-based Traffic Data Systems (TDS) is launching three ground-breaking products at Intertraffic – the TMCS-U Weigh In Motion system, Bike-DSP, and a world first in testing devices (WIM-SIM).
TDS predicts that the TMCS-U with the WIM-DSP unit (Digital Signal Processing, cascadable) will become the new standard for traffic monitoring and Weigh In Motion systems. With a built-in uninterruptible power supply, the company says the device is the world’s most powerful and smallest eight-lane route station to
Telegra is coming to Intertraffic Amsterdam 2014 to feature what it has termed “Signs of Intelligence!” – the company’s NextGen series of signs which are claimed to be a quantum leap in LED sign technology. They are a CE certified, lightweight, modularised and hermetically sealed sign that can be assembled in any size. Innovative technology ensures almost no maintenance required, so the company states that Operation & Maintenance (O&M) cost savings may reach 60%. State-of-the-art optical technology has redu
A U.S. DOT pilot program in Dallas aims to reduce traffic congestion along a 28-mile segment of US-75 through closer coordination of multiple transportation agencies and city governments.
