We should modify the drawing style as in the following figure: We should modify the drawing style as in the following figure:įinally, select the VITORIA layer by double clicking on the layer with the mouse and assign the colour blue. The second operation we can do is to select the layer subarea by double clicking on the layer with the mouse and assigning the colour red. If we look at the layers, we see that the layer ‘Ejes’ is a layer with a lot of clutter which would be better hidden by deselecting the corresponding checkbox. For this we should make the layers active, by selecting the menu Window / Windows / Layers. Now we should look at the layers which make up the imported background. We start by importing the DWG File Background_Small.dwg (found in the Exercises folder), accepting the default Geo Units as Meters and System Encoding, and then from the main menu select View / Whole World. DWG (CAD drawing) file and a JPG image to be imported. Now we are going to import the images that will help us to create the exercise’s model. The user has the opportunity to create new objects and store them in a template for future projects.Įxercise 2. This template places default objects within the project, which are shown in the following image: The first step after executing Aimsun is to create a new model this can be done using the menu File / New.

We will also define a control plan for traffic lights, bus lines and plans, reserved lanes for buses, a traffic state, centroids, O/D matrices, a traffic demand, and a scenario with an experiment which we will use for the final simulation.Įxercise 1. We will define, step by step, and based on a background image, all the graphical elements that compose a network, including sections, nodes, detectors, VMS, solid lines and bus stops. In these exercises, the final goal is the creation of a complete network from zero with all the necessary data to finish with a microscopic simulation of the network (if the license allows it).

Users with an Aimsun Professional for Mesoscopic Simulation edition will simulate with the mesoscopic simulator instead of the microscopic simulator.Įditing exercises. Users with an Aimsun Professional for Travel Demand Modelling edition will be able to do all the exercises except those related to control plans and dynamic simulation. Exercise: Editing Note about licences: These exercises require a licence for Aimsun Small, Aimsun Standard, Aimsun Professional for Microscopic Simulation, Aimsun Advanced or Aimsun Expert.
