TRANSIMS (Transportation Analysis and Simulation System)

TRANSIMS (Transportation Analysis and Simulation System) is a computer-based tool used to model and analyze how people and vehicles move within a transportation network. It simulates individual travel behaviors, such as commuting, shopping, or errands, to evaluate traffic flow, congestion, and the impact of transportation policies. By creating detailed, realistic scenarios, TRANSIMS helps planners and engineers optimize infrastructure, reduce congestion, and improve overall transportation efficiency. It is used to support decision-making for urban development and transportation projects, ensuring smarter, data-driven solutions for community mobility needs.
