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

Course language: English


Time: The tutor for this online course is based in Barcelona, so the course will start at 9:00h and end at 13.30h (Central European Time).

Scripting in Aimsun Next is a powerful means of modifying a model, importing or exporting data and calculating and displaying results. This course teaches you how Aimsun Next scripts can dramatically increase your efficiency, including a full day of hands-on exercises.

Note that while the course includes a review of the Python language, you will definitely need a decent level of familiarity with Python and the concepts of programming.
