Tutorials

Tutorials cover a set of different subjects to help you become familiar with modeling in Aimsun Next:

• Building a Model: Build a model from scratch with all the data needed to run a simulation.

• Viewing Microsimulation Outputs: Survey the different ways of obtaining immediate visual results in Aimsun Next.

• Managing Traffic: Learn how to work with traffic-management policies.

• Working with 3D: Take a look at 3D visualizations of models.

• Simulating Pedestrians: Run a microscopic simulation that contains embedded pedestrians.

• Modeling with Macroscopic Tools: In these exercises, the goal is to practice with the Macroscopic features for private traffic: assignment, adjustment, subnetworks, matrix balancing.

• Integrating Micro, Meso, Macro, and Hybrid Simulations: Practice using the microscopic, mesoscopic, macroscopic, and hybrid simulators, demonstrating how they can be used together.

• Managing Scenarios: Work with several scenarios in the same project, and also with ‘external’ scenarios.

• Travel Demand Modeling: Practice using transport-planning and demand-modeling tools.

• Advanced Control: Learn about transit priority and adaptive control.

• Legion for Aimsun: Run a microscopic simulation containing pedestrians generated and managed by the Legion for Aimsun plug-in.

User Manual

The main body of the user manual contains reference materials and theoretical explanations about Aimsun Next's features and uses. Please use the Search facility and Index to find information, as well as the main table of contents.

The manual is written in US English, in keeping with the software's UI and Aimsun's website. If you are more familiar with UK English, keep in mind that the manual refers to 'public transport' as 'transit' and 'Give Way' becomes 'Yield'.

Note: File extensions (such as .txt, .doc, .ang, etc.) are written as TXT, DOC, ANG, etc. in body text, except when part of complete filenames (e.g. model.ang), coding examples, and examples of functions.
