No more interfacing with external traffic demand models for importing data as a starting point or as a means of redistributing demand from one mode to another or to estimate the impact that capacity changes have on overall demand levels.īenefits of a single multi-purpose, multi-layer simulation packageĬhoose the right tool for the right project rather fitting projects around the tools.īuild extensible simulation models on a larger and larger scale using a single all-in-one package.Įliminate cumbersome and error-prone manual interfacing between different macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic software packages.
Travel demand modelling brings true integrationįour-step demand modelling is another step towards true integration: you can start a transportation modelling project from scratch, entering raw geographical and socio-economic data and follow the process all the way through to simulation without having to use a separate package. Hybrid simulator applicable to sub-networksĭynamic traffic assignment based on dynamic user equilibrium Look-ahead propagation between microscopic and mesoscopic areasĭynamic traffic assignment based on stochastic route choice Legion for Aimsun available inside the microscopic areasĭemand definition using OD matrices or traffic states
The hybrid simulator features the following:ĭefinition of areas for microscopic simulation within a mesoscopically simulated network Hybrid micro-meso simulation in Aimsun traffic modelling software The Aimsun hybrid simulator gives you simultaneous microscopic and mesoscopic simulation, allowing you to model large areas while zooming in on all areas that require a finer level of detail.Ĭombining an event-based mesoscopic model with a more detailed time-sliced microsimulator offers a best-of-both-worlds scenario, blending superior computational efficiency with precise representation of traffic dynamics.
