LCRIG Hosted Webinar: Using dynamic models for transport scheme appraisal

Event Date: 03/12/2024

Join us for our upcoming webinar and discover dynamic assignment, a powerful tool that can provide detailed predictions of travel time across a network over time.

About the webinar

Delivered in collaboration with Aimsun, the webinar will take place on 3rd December at 11am. The session will be led by Aimsun’s Head of Business Development, Gavin Bailey and Product Specialist, Tessa Hayman.

Until now, non-conformance with the Department for Transport’s ‘Transport Appraisal Guidance’ (TAG), specifically regarding convergence, stability, and robustness, has largely restricted the application of dynamic assignment to operational modelling, development planning and event planning.

This webinar outlines a method, developed by Aimsun in collaboration with the DfT, that ensures dynamic assignment models can reach more stable results. The aim is to provide principles and best practice for practitioners to follow when developing dynamic assignment models, particularly in relation to model stability and convergence.

Aimsun brings over 27 years’ of experience developing, licensing, and using dynamic transport modelling software, internationally. Their product developers and specialists come from a wide range of backgrounds including practical transport planning experience and academic applications of transport modelling software for new modes such as connected and autonomous vehicles.

With a team of in-house developers, Aimsun ensure that they push the boundaries of transport modelling, applying cutting edge approaches and techniques to meet the constantly changing needs of the sector, whether it be for more accurately capturing traffic behaviours of traditional and new modes or deploying real-time traffic digital twins for automated traffic management.

Key Takeaways

  1. Learn what dynamic models are and when they should be used for transport scheme appraisals.
  2. Understand how to build dynamic models which align with DfT TAG principles and key recommendations.
  3. Discover how a single Aimsun model can address your strategic and operational transport requirements.
