Aimsun wins another award for its NEVFMA air quality solution

Hot on the heels of its win at the ITS (UK) Awards last month, the transport modelling firm Aimsun has received another accolade, winning the TechWorks Green Technology Award for its NEVFMA project. NEVFMA, which stands for the Network Emissions and Vehicle Flow Management Adjustment project, uses transport modelling to mitigate against congestion build-up and […]

Aimsun says sustainable mobility solution award proof you don’t always need infrastructure changes or restrictions

The transport modelling firm Aimsun, has won a prestigious UK transport award for their predictive modelling solution to reduce traffic’s environmental impact. The Aimsun-led NEVFMA project won the Innovative Use of Technology Award from ITS (UK) for its solution, recently trialled in Oxfordshire, which fuses real-time modelling with air quality sensors to reduce emissions in […]

Using modelling to predict and compare traffic management response plans to mitigate tail pipe emissions in real time

NEVFMA is the UK’s first fully operational, county-wide predictive model for the Highways England strategic road network in Oxfordshire. The model predicts not only traffic but also emissions, with a real-time, traffic-linked pollution dispersion model. As Aimsun’s UK Managing Director Gav Jackman explains, this delivery uses a large-scale model of the county of Oxfordshire that […]

Aimsun’s air quality modelling solution nominated for prestigious industry prize

The global transport modelling firm Aimsun is in the running for a major award in recognition of a solution it’s pioneered to fuse transport modelling, live traffic information and air quality monitoring to better manage traffic flow. The NEVFMA solution, delivered for National Highways with Earthsense, Oxfordshire County Council and Yunex Traffic is in the […]

Air quality modelling project shows how the right traffic management solution can significantly reduce emissions

A new traffic management technique which has been trialled in Oxfordshire for the past year has proved how air quality can be significantly improved through a technique to manage traffic jams before they happen. The NEVFMA scheme uses global transport modelling firm Aimsun’s traffic simulation to reduce congestion and therefore harmful, traffic-related pollution, with analysis […]
