TRansportation ANalysis SIMulation System (TRANSIMS)

TRANSIMS is a set of new transportation and air quality analysis and forecasting procedures developed to meet the Clean Air Act, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, and other regulations. It consists of mutually supporting simulations, models, and databases that employ advanced computational and analytical techniques to create an integrated regional transportation system analysis environment. The integrated results from the detailed simulations will support transportation planners, engineers, decision makers, and others who must address environmental pollution, energy consumption, traffic congestion, land use planning, traffic safety, intelligent vehicle efficiencies, and the transportation infrastructure effect on the quality of life, productivity, and economy.
