‘Aimsun helps TfL retain detail in traffic modelling’ ITS International 25 September 2015 Transport for London (TfL) has selected TSS-Transport Simulation Systems’ Aimsun modelling software following a lengthy evaluation. With London’s population predicted to reach 10million by 2030, the authority needed to increase its modelled area by a factor of 10 to more than 2,300km2 along with improved cyclist, pedestrian and air quality predictions. For a market assessment it divided its mode [...]

‘Real-time simulation for pollution reduction’ Data & Modelling June 2015 The uTRAQ project in the east Midlands is seeking to advance real-time traffic management with the specific goal of reducing air pollution. With air quality and traffic management considered high priority policy issues for both central government and local authorities, a key strength of the system is its modular nature and ability to interface with existing and future advanced traffic management systems. A [...]

‘Modeling the future of island traffic in Trinidad and Tobago’ Tech profile: Traffic Technology International June 2015 Transportation Planning Consultant, Dr. Rae Furlonge, describes the traffic problems on the southwestern peninsula of the Caribbean island of Trinidad, where road building in the region is seen as essential, and some improvements have already been carried out. Now a local activist group (LAG) has developed a plan for where the next essential arteries should be const [...]
