OmniCAV environment capture By Simon Navin,Head of Roadside Asset DataOrdnance SurveySeptember 2020 Creating digital simulations of the built environment is nothing new. Planning, construction, transportation etc. has long used digital techniques to recreate the built environment and run scenarios and tests about how new designs and behaviours may affect the local and wider context, whether it be economically or socially. In recent years, initiatives such as BIM, Smart Cities and the development [...]

“Now is the time to rethink our strategies” Inside Intertraffic Podcast 5: How to restore faith in public transport by Intertraffic August, 2020 Martin Hartmann joins the Inside Intertraffic Podcast (at 21:40) to talk about the role of simulation in helping city planners work towards a new normal. In episode 5 of the Inside Intertraffic podcast Paul Hutton and Kevin Borras talk to three public transport professionals whose jobs have got a great deal more challenging over the last few months. Dur [...]

Oxfordshire using real-time traffic simulation to reduce congestion and emissions ITS International Magazine July, 2020 The timescales remain unclear, but one thing is certain – vehicles of the future will be far more intelligent and automated than they are now. While development of physical driverless vehicles takes place in the lab, and track testing is underway, for real leaps forward in the implementation of the technology, much of the development work is being done virtually. In the world o [...]

Zephyr® Air Quality Sensors Deployed Around UK’s First Prospective Zero Emission Zone June, 2020 EarthSense, the air quality expert, is working as part of a successful consortium led by Aimsun with Oxfordshire County Council and Siemens for the Highways England funded project, NEVFMA. This project involves implementing a Zephyr® sensor network, alongside MappAir® modelling, to inform traffic management strategies to improve air quality around Oxford. EarthSense has deployed a network of Zephyr® [...]

Models will have to be redesigned April 30, 2020 By Paul Hutton, Highway News The President of the American division of Aimsun, world’s leading transport modelling companies, is warning that transport models will be have to be redesigned when the Coronavirus crisis is over. Matthew Juckes told an ITS Canada webinar that there is a question over whether we will ever go back to the “normal” we had before, and therefore the industry needs a robust system that allows it to test multiple scenarios. “ [...]

Evaluating the Impact of Signal Phase and Timing March 4, 2020 The Aimsun team recently completed an IUK CCAV project called LAMBDA-V. This one-year feasibility study used human driver data to improve the performance and acceptability of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). As part of the final LAMBDA-V work package, the Aimsun team developed a proof of concept for a Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) evaluation tool within the Aimsun Next modelling environment. A SPaT file gives the sequence o [...]
