Aimsun helps transport modellers work from home

First published in Intertraffic Innovation News - May 26, 2020

With remote working a necessity at the moment, the transport modelling innovators at Aimsun have worked hard to deliver a number of solutions that people can use from home.

The first step was to give users remote access to the entire suite of Aimsun Next modelling software at no extra cost.

Project owners haven’t been locked out either. Even if they don’t own Aimsun software, the new, free Viewer gives them a direct window into their transport modelling team’s progress. With the Viewer, they can continue to analyse project outputs remotely, which in turn enables closer involvement, better communication and a more efficient workflow.

A free Student edition of the software means that while university computer labs are closed, students can continue working on academic assignments at home. In just a few clicks, students can sign up for a free licence and install it on their personal computer.

Finally, to keep everyone up to speed with new developments, Aimsun’s training courses and seminars are now available remotely via virtual meeting rooms. Remote technical support continues to be available around the clock, and the professional services team is working with clients to manage the radical impact that restrictions are having on traffic data.

The Aimsun team hopes that these measures go some way to helping everyone keep business running while they stay home and stay safe.
