New features in Aimsun Next 24 mobility modeling software

Aimsun Next 24 builds on our commitment to transportation network analysis and optimization. Many of the new features focus on productivity with a view to enhancing the building and running of?large-scale, multi-modal?models for cities, highways, and regions.

Feature updates include:

• Static macro assignment with continuous value of time (bi-criteria assignment): estimate more accurately the traffic using toll roads
• Access travel time in the PT crowding discomfort function: you can now weight the discomfort of traveling on a crowded PT vehicle by the time you have to sit on-board
• Waiting time outputs for pedestrians at crosswalks and PT stops: valuable statistics to analyze the benefit for pedestrians of a change in the signal timings or in the bus schedule
• Gridlock prevention in meso by queue jump: reduces the likelihood of gridlocks in a mesoscopic simulation
• External file references stored with relative paths: if you move a project to a different folder or computer, all external files contained in the project folder will still be found (even if you created custom subfolders).
• SATURN importer: better handling of the import of multiple scenarios in a single model file
• Copy and paste objects between models with different coordinate systems: the coordinate conversion happens on-the-fly and the pasted objects go to the right location
• Bike detectors and impulse parallel reporting points with Yutraffic controllers: you can now test and simulate traffic signal controllers that use these settings in reality

Aimsun Next 24: Release notes

Walk or take the bus? Modeling mode choice with dynamic transit assignment.

In this month's pro tip, Dimitris Triantafyllos explains the Dynamic Transit Assignment in Aimsun Next microscopic and mesoscopic one-shot simulations. This functionality allows you to assign OD matrices of pedestrians choosing between walking all the way to their destination or walking to a stop and taking transit (including making transfers).
