Due to Coronavirus restrictions, this is a remote training course that you can take from home via video conferencing.

Course language: English


Time: Your online tutor is based in Barcelona so the course will start at 9am GMT+2 and end at 5pm GMT+2.


Breaks: There are mid-morning and mid-afternoon breaks plus an hour for lunch. Total teaching time is 7.5 hours.


Platform: We use Zoom or Google Meet for most of our online classes. If you have a software or security issue, please let us know and we will accommodate your needs.


How to install our software: Once you have signed up, we will send you two-step installation instructions for a temporary training license of Aimsun Next software. Please start this process 48 hours before the course starts to allow time for trouble shooting.

This course zooms out from microscopic simulation to look at larger scale modeling. You’ll learn about the event-based mesoscopic model and how to combine it with a more detailed time-sliced microsimulator.

Then you’ll get to experiment with static macroscopic modelling, which is often used as a preliminary step to dynamic modeling to extract the demand of a subarea from a regional model, to adjust and time-slice it, and to get an initial set of paths to warm-start dynamic assignment.

Morning session: 09:15–13:15 (including a 15-min break)

Afternoon session: 14:00–17:30 (including a 15-min break)
