Abstract

This paper summarises some of 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. In particular the paper describes in detail the architecture of the Intermodal Strategy Manager (ISM) system, as it has been implemented in Hessen, and namely the Scenario Analysis System. The description addresses the embedding of the simulator in the Scenario Analysis System (SAS), a versatile graphic environment for model manipulation and simulation based traffic analysis and evaluation of advanced traffic management strategies. SAS also includes specific tools (ODTool) to generate and manipulate the Origin-Destination matrices describing the mobility patterns required by the dynamic analysis of traffic conditions. The matrix calculation procedures have been implemented on basis to a flexible interface with the EMME/2 transport planning software.
