AIMSUN: New ITS Capabilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper summarises the main modelling and interface developments made recently in the AIMSUN microscopic traffic simulator to provide a better response to the requirements for the assessment of ITS systems and advanced transport analysis. The description addresses three main areas: improvements on the dynamic assignment capabilities, in interfacing traffic control systems, as those based on TRANSYT, and in the interface between EMME/2 and AIMSUN. In this last case a special attention is paid to the manipulation of OD matrices to define inputs to AIMSUN models.

Comparison of PARAMICS and GETRAM/AIMSUN Microscopic Traffic Simulation Tools
PARAMICS and GETRAM/AIMSUN are two microscopic traffic simulation tools that are capable of modelling the functions of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in a large network. This paper compares the Version 4.0 of PARAMICS with Version 4.0 of GETRAM/AIMSUN, based on the experience gained in using them to model a network with a freeway and arterials. The simulation tools were compared in six asp...

متن کاملCoordinating On - ramp Queue Control with Adjacent Local Signal Controller
This paper describes a queue control algorithm which is able to coordinate its operation with that of an adjacent local signal control so that its efficiency is improved. A microscopic simulation model (AIMSUN) was used to test the operation of the new queue control algorithm and compare its performance with that of the standard queue control. The assessment has shown the new algorithm to be a ...
متن کاملCapability-Enhanced AIMSUN with Real-Time Signal Timing Control
In this paper, we enhanced the capability of Aimsun simulation including signal timing optimization of traffic control with real-time information on the network dynamics. The problem is formulated so as to find the duration of maximum green time for each stage in response to recurrent traffic flow fluctuation at an intersection. The approach used a simple version of the Webster method for deter...
متن کاملA Statistical Approach for Calibrating a Microsimulation Model for Freeways
In this paper the calibration of a traffic microsimulation model based on speed-density relationships is presented. Hypothesis test was applied in the calibration process to measure the closeness between empirical data and simulation outputs and determine whether the difference between (observed and simulated) speeddensity relationships was statistically significant. Statistical regressions bet...
