TSS-2195 Transport Simulation Systems is an ITS America partner this year in Pittsburgh and is showcasing it's 7320 Aimsun Online real-time decision support system for traffic management.

Aimsun Online is the analytical engine for two high-profile traffic management projects: - the award-winning Interstate 15 Integrated Corridor Management System (ICMS) led by the 1789 San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and, in France, the Grand Lyon Opticities project to optimise citizen mobility and freight management in urban environments. The Lyon real-time simulation management system offers standardisation for access to data and aims to merge the city’s current traffic management system, developed by SPIE, with a real-time predictive system for the inner city of Lyon.

At the core of both projects is the configuration and implementation of a decision support system (DSS) using Aimsun Online to evaluate and propose optimal traffic management actions.

Matthew Juckes, Senior Project Manager at TSS-Transport Simulation Systems says, “The DSS gives system managers comprehensive awareness of the current and predicted performance of the entire area under study. Aimsun Online uses live data feeds and simulations to dynamically forecast traffic conditions based on the current state of the network, allowing system managers to evaluate incident response or congestion management strategies. This means that rather than reacting to congestion as it happens, we can take pre-emptive steps to prevent system breakdown using enhanced controls across devices such as traffic signals, ramp meters and dynamic message signs.”

    Michigan’s Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) has revamped its online real-time traffic map, making the congestion-monitoring tool simpler, easier and faster to use. The changes allow users to see congestion levels on county roads across Oakland County, thanks to data provided by RCOC’s Faster and Safer Travel through Traffic Routing and Advanced Controls (Fast-Trac) adaptive traffic-signal system. Fast-Trac detects the volume of traffic moving in each direction at equipped intersections and uses th

    August 15, 2012
    Collection of traffic and transit data has grown significantly, combining with advances in connectivity and computational modelling to good effect. Desire to do more with less – to make budgets go further – has helped create a boom in the collection and study of traffic and transport data. Studies are becoming longer, greater in number and further in-depth as more intelligence is sought, plus, transportation agencies are looking to make processes of data collection less costly, or more efficient.
