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.
Geveko Materials, which combined the sales forces of Plastiroute, Cleanosol and LKF, all of them long-established names in the road marking industry, will have a major presence at Intertraffic Amsterdam 2014. An indication of how the company is developing the sector, and providing flexibility involves a bicycle marking project in Moscow.
As the company points out, there are many opportunities to include coloured symbols and white signs as informative and guiding elements for traffic. Some signs, symbols,
Wavetronix is very upbeat here at Intertraffic because it says opportunities for international growth continue for the company and its market-leading SmartSensor HD. Recent deployments in the UK and France; the Middle East; Eastern Europe and Asia; new markets in Australia and the Pacific Rim; and ongoing projects in the United States, have helped to solidify HD’s position for side-fire radar vehicle detection.
Visitors to the company’s stand will get to see the latest version of SmartSensor HD, availabl
Image Sensing Systems (ISS) is here at Intertraffic to unveil the new non-intrusive, radar-based, Autoscope RTMS Sx-300, an advanced sensor for the detection and measurement of traffic on roadways. All-weather accurate and virtually maintenance-free, with long-term worry-free reliability, the company says the Sx-300 gives the best lane detection capabilities, providing the ability to detect up to 12 lanes of traffic simultaneously.
Its all-in-one-concept combines a high resolution radar and a variety
Germany-headquartered Vitronic will use Intertraffic Amsterdam 2014 to present its latest developments in speed and red light enforcement, electronic toll collection and ANPR, all based on laser scanners (LIDAR).
According to the company, PoliScanspeed and PoliScanredlight provide reliable, innovative speed and red light enforcement capturing up to three times more violators than conventional systems. PoliScanspeed systems are available as stationary devices, cased in the pillared City Design Housing, or m
