Our leading capability in transport modelling embraces many aspects of transport and traffic movement. Our experts apply appropriate transport modelling techniques at each stage of project development. We use all major software packages for public and private sector clients. Many of our applications are multi-modal. Increasingly we use GIS techniques to support in pre- and post-processing. Many of our models are at the forefront of current technology and our experts regularly advise the Highways Agency and the Department for Transport on best practice.

TSS - Transport Simulation Systems
TSS develops and markets Aimsun, the leading transport modelling software environment. Aimsun is the product of 22 years of research, some 100 academic publications, and over 1,500 real-world projects to-date. It has a strong scientific and commercial heritage and a fiercely loyal user community. TSS prides itself on the quality and performance of its simulations; its open and extensible software platform; and its unique ability to fuse static, dynamic and hybrid approaches within a single environment. These features combined make Aimsun uniquely capable of improving the world's road infrastructure: from optimising a toll
gate in Tokyo's Cargo Terminal to helping control, in real time, the traffic lights around the entire ring-road of Madrid.
TSS has its offices in Barcelona, Spain and distributors servicing around 900 users in 50 countries. Aimsun licensees include government agencies such as ASFiNAG in Austria, MIDEPLAN in Chile, and the Department of Transport in the USA. Leading consultancies such as Halcrow, UK; DHV, Netherlands; WSP, Sweden; Stewart Scott, South Africa and UDEC in Japan use Aimsun to deliver consultancy services. Academic users and research partners include the Universities of California Berkeley, USA; Keio, Japan; Napoli, Italy, and Hannover, Germany.
Legion
Legion is the company behind the leading pedestrian simulation software, Studio 2006 and its accompanying animation software, Legion 3D 2006. Both are used worldwide to optimise the design and operation of public spaces. Such spaces typically include: transport terminals; sport, entertainment and leisure venues; shopping centres; commercial and public buildings; and venues for major international events like the Olympics.
Our broad global portfolio includes customers such as Transport for London, NYCT, Madrid Metro and MTR Hong Kong; partners such as AECOM, ARUP UK and Parsons Brinckerhoff China; and high-profile projects that include the Sydney, Athens, Beijing and London Olympics.
For our customers, using Legion leads to improved cost management, better risk management, improved security planning, and increased comfort and safety in public places. Our patented simulation technology is the result of many years’ inter-disciplinary research into pedestrian behaviour. The accuracy of our simulations has been independently tested against real-world data resulting in endorsements by, among others: Crossrail, London Fire Brigade, London Underground and Santiago Metro.
Our people bring a wealth of experience from business; architecture; engineering; transport planning; operational research; and software development; all of which is reflected in the quality of our products and advice.
