TSS highlights capabilities of Aimsun Online

The Aimsun Online real-time decision support system for traffic management is centre stage at the TSS-Transport Simulation Systems (TSS) stand here at Intertraffic. Its dynamic, high-speed simulation of large areas allows traffic operators to accurately forecast the future network flow patterns that will result from a particular traffic management or information provision strategy.

The 7320 Aimsun Online real-time decision support system for traffic management is centre stage at the TSS-2195 Transport Simulation Systems (TSS) stand here at Intertraffic. Its dynamic, high-speed simulation of large areas allows traffic operators to accurately forecast the future network flow patterns that will result from a particular traffic management or information provision strategy.

TSS is highlighting the fact that, among other projects, Aimsun Online is the simulation-based subsystem in the decision support system (DSS) demonstrator in the Interstate 15 Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) demonstrator project in San Diego, California. With the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) heading the San Diego ICM team, the award-winning system went live in March 2013; the project is now conducting successful ICM demonstration projects that show the benefits of ICM through improvement in corridor performance.

Following the success of the I-15 project, FHWA/USDOT is currently evaluating new sites and corridors for the next sponsored implementations of ICM across the United States.

Core to the vision for an ICM solution for the region is the ability to forecast and simulate congestion and capacity imbalances in ‘near-real-time’. Aimsun Online’s conceptual architecture ensures that what is being simulated reflects the actual state of the network while also providing scalability and quick response times. 

“Real-time simulation has the potential to transform traffic management, offering unprecedented insights into the network under management, which translates into increased cost-efficiency and reduced environmental impact,” says Josep María Aymamí .

    Italian firm Snoline says that its Tau Tube redirective crash cushion offers low-cost crash protection. Paula Ferraris, communications & marketing manager for the firm said: “It is like the previous Tau but with a new impact absorbing system. It can stop a car travelling at 110km/h in less than 7m.” The system is said to be simple to install and is designed for long life, with a galvanised steel structure and meets the European EN1317-3 safety criteria. The impact absorbing beams are made from aluminium and

    Vector Informatik, a German software company, will present software tools for the development of Car2x‐applications. CANoe.Car2x and CANalyzer.Car2x are used to develop, simulate, analyse and test embedded systems with WLAN. The optional .Car2x extends these multi‐bus tools by adding an IEEE 802.11p conformant WLAN channel (pWLAN). This permits direct analysis of both the Car2x‐specific application protocols and the application messages overlaid on them. In the Car2x field this might be the Cooperative Awar
