This four-day Aimsun training course will be held in English, from Monday March 26th to Thursday March 29th. We will be using a WeWork classroom in central Toronto – exact location to be confirmed shortly.

The course is aimed at new users and users who wish to refresh or extend their skills in microscopic and mesoscopic simulations. The last day of the course is dedicated solely to the macroscopic functionalities and travel demand modeling in Aimsun and can be booked separately.
