TSS-2195 Transport Simulation Systems is promoting a recent deployment of 7320 Aimsun Online, its simulation-based traffic prediction system, in the San Diego area as part of a US DOT pilot program. The project, led by 1789 San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), won the Best of ITS Award presented at the opening plenary. Alex Estrella of SANDAG accepted the award on behalf of the team.

According to Matthew Juckes, senior project manager for TSS, Aimsun Online simulates and predicts traffic flow on a 21-mile corridor of I-15 in San Diego and feeds that information into Delcan’s Business Rules Engine. The integrated solution analyses the information, determines routes and comes up with a series of potential response plans. The plans are then evaluated in the Aimsun Online simulation engine and the plan that makes the best sense is then implemented across agencies.

The integrated corridor management system was deployed in March as the final phase in a six-year initiative sponsored by the 324 US Department of Transportation.

    The e-Vignette system of collecting and controlling road user charges has the advantage of simplicity while achieving high compliance from drivers, says service provider AGES. The electronic vignette has superseded the paper vignette as a convenient and faster service without the expense of printing and distributing physical authorisation for road use. Vignette road charging services are time based, requiring neither costly on-board equipment nor interaction with roadside infrastructure. The e-Vignette is i
