Version 8.1 of the 16 Aimsun transport modelling software developed by TSS-Transport Simulation Systems has been released. It builds on features of Aimsun 8, such as hybrid microscopic and mesoscopic simulation, travel demand modelling with macroscopic functionalities, OD matrix manipulation tools for super-sized applications and makes them more user-friendly.

It provides more powerful view modes that are said to be intuitive to access, use and customise. In addition, the new Geometry Configurations feature makes it simpler to compare future alternative scenarios when working on projects: multiple geometries can be kept stored in a single file, configurations can be added as required and activated in different scenarios with a single mouse click. Coupled with the Revisions feature, Geometry Configurations provides version control, while eliminating duplications.

    Aimsun is taking part in a UK study which is using human driver data to help improve the performance and acceptability of connected and autonomous vehicles (C/AVs). The one-year project, Learning through Ambient Driving Styles for Autonomous Vehicles (LAMBDA-V), will also look at how driver behaviour can be analysed and used to accelerate the adoption of C/AVs. Aimsun says new rules for safer and more efficient driving behaviour could be created from existing vehicles, based on road laws and on how h
