Abu Dhabi’s integrated transport modelling framework Published March 16, 2022 The availability of huge new datasets is driving rapid advancements in approaches to transport modelling for planning and operations. At the Abu Dhabi Integrated Transport Centre  (ITC), new data is being leveraged to update the existing Strategic Transportation Evaluation and Assessment Model (known by the acronym of STEAM) to STEAM+. STEAM+ is a state-of-the-art, all-in- one transport modelling framework which integr [...]

Aimsun wins 4-year contract to continue transportation planning for the City of Paris November 24, 2021 The City of Paris (la Mairie de Paris) has awarded Aimsun another four-year contract to provide the modeling framework for all urban planning and operations. This is the fourth consecutive contract with the City of Paris for Aimsun, which has been active in the city since 2010. The Aimsun France team has grown steadily over the last 11 years, providing expert, on-the-ground support for virtual [...]

A proactive approach to effectively integrate autonomous vehicles for future road safety Intelligent transport, p.28-29September 2021 With the European Union set to miss its target to halve road deaths by 2030, autonomous vehicles provide many of the solutions to some of road safety’s most dangerous problems. SAFE-UP, a European initiative on road safety, is working to deliver the promised potential of autonomous vehicles to keep all road users safe.Progress on reducing road fatalities in the Eu [...]

Why companies should invest in research Published on September 2, 2021 Mark BrackstoneResearch Project Manager at Aimsun Did you know that Aimsun now has a dedicated Research Projects team? Created in January this year, our new team already has three members with more to join us soon.   Aimsun is already well known for developing innovative simulation software, but that’s not really the same as research. It’s perfectly possible to develop new techniques and pieces of software, but that’s q [...]

Intelligent Transport Management for Victoria Road in Sydney As published in Infrastructure Magazine, Australia September/October 2021 Issue A new partnership of behavior-based simulation from Aimsun and data analytics from Data61 has the potential to set a gold standard for how agencies manage urban corridors. This article looks at the partners’ pilot project on Victoria Road, one of Sydney's busiest commuter corridors and a pivotal part of the NSW government's multi-billion-dollar infrastructu [...]

Cómo la simulación se adapta a los desafíos de la nueva movilidad eléctrica y conectada Portal MovilidadPor Rodrigo CapeansJulio 15, 2021 La integración de una movilidad sostenible y electrificada a las ciudades es un proceso que requiere de un adecuado seguimiento de las soluciones dispuestas. En ese sentido, la modelización y simulación son dos grandes aliados de cara a este cambio en el transporte. “Nos permiten responder a las preguntas de las ciudades y empresas del sector, ayudando a cuant [...]

Tackling air quality issues in England The Curb newsletter (4th edition)July 2, 2021 Tell us more about the project in Oxfordshire!NEVFMA (Network Emissions / Vehicle Flow Management Adjustment) was a project sponsored by Highways England and was funded via an innovation competition to research and look at tools that could be deployed to help tackle air quality issues as a result of traffic on the strategic road network of England. Aimsun led a consortium of Siemens Mobility, Earthsense and Oxfo [...]

The Environmental Supermodel TMAA DetoursP.64, Edition 34, June 2021 Reducing transport-related pollution is a job for everyone in the industry, and as Paul Hutton in the UK writes, a solution being perfected in the English city of Oxford could help us here in Australia. According to the European Environment Agency, transport is responsible for nearly 30 per cent of all the CO2 emissions in Europe. Of this, almost three-quarters – 72 per cent – comes from road transport. While this is a signific [...]

UK’s first county-wide model for predicting traffic flows and emissions is launched TMAA DetoursP.59, Edition 34, June 2021 The transport modelling experts, Aimsun, have led the delivery of a large-scale model of the county of Oxfordshire that will use real-time traffic simulation to reduce congestion and harmful, traffic-related emissions. Now running live, the model was delivered for the Network Emissions/Vehicle Flow Management Adjustment (NEVFMA) project, funded by Highways England and deliv [...]

Aimsun, Highways England and Oxfordshire CC show how air quality modelling can significantly reduce emissions ITS United KingdomJune 17, 2021 A new traffic management technique which has been trialled in Oxfordshire for the past year has proved how air quality can be significantly improved through a technique to manage traffic jams before they happen. The NEVFMA scheme uses ITS (UK) member, the global transport modelling firm Aimsun’s traffic simulation to reduce congestion and therefore harmful [...]
