Aimsun Next
Mobility modeling for any city or region.
Overview
Aimsun Next is a comprehensive mobility modeling software that integrates meso, micro, and macro simulation models in a single platform. This allows planners and engineers to model large-scale regional networks and then zoom in to analyze specific corridors or intersections with high fidelity. It supports multi-modal transport, including vehicles, public transit, cyclists, and pedestrians.
✨ Key Features
- Integrated Macro, Meso, and Microscopic Simulation
- Dynamic Traffic Assignment
- Multi-Modal Simulation
- Travel Demand Modeling
- Scripting with Python
- Real-time Traffic Data Integration for Live Simulation
- Cloud-based Simulation
🎯 Key Differentiators
- True integration of macro, meso, and micro models in a single application.
- Advanced capabilities for dynamic traffic assignment and demand modeling.
- Strong focus on real-time data integration and live simulation for traffic management.
Unique Value: Offers the flexibility to model transportation systems at any scale within a single project, eliminating the need for multiple software packages and complex data conversions between different levels of detail.
🎯 Use Cases (5)
✅ Best For
- Modeling the effects of tolling strategies on a regional highway network.
- Simulating evacuation plans for major cities.
- Developing real-time traffic prediction systems for traffic management centers.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Architectural design
- Site feasibility analysis for real estate
- Urban environmental analysis (sun, wind)
🏆 Alternatives
Its key advantage over competitors like PTV is the seamless integration of different simulation resolutions (micro, meso, macro) in one environment, which is often more efficient for large, complex projects.
