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 to work with Transport for London (TfL) to provide new transport modelling tools for the UK capital’s roads. The deal with London’s transit authority – announced at Traffex this week - will see Aimsun deliver a static (macroscopic) and dynamic (mesoscopic) model which covers everything within London’s orbital motorway, the M25, encompassing 53,000km of lanes. This includes all of the city’s cycle superhighways. Aimsun MD Gavin Jackman admitted the project was challenging, but says that it ha

    Aéroports de Paris (AdP) has completed its road simulation model of the airport area of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. The hybrid model has been built using Aimsun traffic modelling software, and comprises a large-area mesoscopic model dotted with pockets of simultaneous microscopic simulation wherever more detail is necessary. Aéroports de Paris commissioned the project as part of the “Airport City” concept, with CDVIA as the main provider. The model of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport covers over 240 kil
