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.

    The continued expansion of IP camera networks increases the availability of useful information. At the same time, the opportunity exists to increase inter-agency collaboration. This makes information management all the more necessary in the control room environment. But the transportation sector could do a lot to help itself by gaining a better idea up front of what and how it wants to do things, says Electrosonic's Karl Johnson.
