Location: Eco Trust Building, 721 NW 9th Ave # 200, Portland, OR
Cost: Free to the OR ITE SimCap community
For the third event of our DTA presentation series, Transport Simulation Systems (TSS) provided an opportunity inviting the Oregon ITE SimCap community to attend their North America Aimsun Users’ Meeting, free of charge right here in Portland! The Aimsun modeling software is a single, integrated, multi-resolution platform that provides users the ability to move from macroscopic to mesoscopic to microscopic modeling with provided feedback between each modeling level. One strength of Aimsun is the mesoscopic modeling element with dynamic traffic assignment (DTA), which has been a core element of the software for over 13 years and has been used on projects throughout the world. You may also register for the full conference and attend the evening reception following the User's Meeting for free to Oregon ITE Members. More about the Aimsun training occurred on June 16th, 2017 can be found Here!
