Digital Twins Autonomous Vehicle International Magazine October 2019 The latest mobility modeling software creates a digital twin of the real world, a perfect virtual copy, where vehicle manufacturers and traffic managers can safely explore the limits of autonomous and connected vehicle technology to enable safer real-world deployment. Aimsun Next software provides a set of tools for investigation into the use of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) connectivity. The new, extensible V2X Software Developm [...]

Developing digital roads and improving air quality Transport Xtra September 16, 2019 Simulating the effect of traffic management strategies to mitigate poor air quality across different authorities’ jurisdictions   Network Emissions/Vehicle Flow Management Adjustment (NEVFMA), a project by a consortium headed by Aimsun in collaboration with Siemens Mobility, EarthSense and Oxfordshire County Council, recently won Highways England funding for an initiative to tackle air quality around [...]

CAPRI: Public to trial on-demand driverless pods at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London September 2019 Driverless pods will transport members of the public around Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park next week, with visitors able to test out an on-demand mobility service. The trial is part of a research project using Aimsun Next modeling software that is paving the way for the use of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) to transport people to and from public transport hubs and around private estate [...]

Synergy PRIME multi-level modelling May 29, 2019 Stelios Theophanous, Prof Richard Romano, Prof Nick Malleson and Dr Nik Lomax – The University of Leeds. This work was supported by Wave 1 of The UKRI Strategic Priorities Fund under the EPSRC Grant EP/T001569/1, particularly the “Digital Twins: Urban Analytics” theme within that grant & The Alan Turing. Synergy PRIME is a proof of concept for integrating population growth projections, agent-based modelling and interactive traffic simulation w [...]

TfL to convert and rebase London ONE model into Aimsun Next Transport Xtra May 23, 2019 Aimsun is entering into a major new agreement with Transport for London (TfL) to convert and rebase the London ONE Model into Aimsun Next traffic modelling software   Aimsun has a long working history with TfL, and its software is already licensed to TfL through the city’s Strategic Modelling Framework and the Operational Modelling Frameworks, which were put in place back in 2015 and recently extended to [...]

Digital Twins: Testing Autonomous Vehicles in a Virtual World Transportation as a Service (TaaS) Magazine December 2018 The latest mobility modeling software creates a digital twin of the real world, a perfect virtual copy, where vehicle manufacturers and traffic managers can safely explore the limits of autonomous and connected vehicle technology to enable safer real-world deployment.  Connected and autonomous vehicles are soon to become part of our lives and the role of simulation in transport [...]

HumanDrive: Traffic modelling reveals potential of connected and autonomous vehicles HumanDrive blogpost by Mark Brackstone, Aimsun November 2018 Can CAVs stop accidents and massively increase capacity? Aimsun and Highways England use traffic modelling to find the answers. The theoretical benefits of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are well known: the total elimination of accidents, and a potential 900% increase in capacity by using platooning systems. However, the practical benefits wh [...]

Simulating a mobility revolution: connected and autonomous vehicles Intertraffic World 2019 Showcase November 2018 Testing connected and autonomous vehicles doesn’t begin on the road – the latest modeling software can create accurate virtual worlds that enable vehicle manufacturers and traffic managers to explore the limits of the technology in order to enable safer real-world deployment. Widespread use of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) is drawing closer, and the role of simulation in [...]

Real-time traffic management or short-term prediction? Traffic Technology International Magazine October/November 2018 Short-term prediction, decision support systems and predictive modeling: all familiar concepts to experts in transportation, but given the many real-time adaptive traffic management systems, do we really need them? An effective decision support system that looks into the short-term future, integrated with real-time traffic management, provides an advanced ITS toolkit that enable [...]
