TransCAD

TransCAD is a Geographic Information System (GIS) that’s designed to be used by


transportation professionals to store, manage, display, and analyze transportation data.
It provides the following functions:

• A powerful GIS engine with special extensions for transportation


• Tools for mapping, visualizing, and analyzing data for use in transportation
applications
• Routing, travel demand forecasting, public transportation, logistics, site location,
and territory management application components

Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO)

SUMO is a multi-modal, open source, microscopic traffic simulation. It enables the


simulation of the movement of a certain single-vehicle traffic demand along a
particular road network. The simulation enables discussion of a wide range of traffic
management issues. It is entirely microscopic: each vehicle is properly represented, has
a unique route, and travels through the network separately. Although determinism is the
default in simulations, randomization can be added in several ways.

• Includes all applications needed to prepare and perform a traffic simulation


(network and routes import, DUA, simulation)
• Simulation
o Space-continuous and time-discrete vehicle movement
o Different vehicle types
o Multi-lane streets with lane changing
o Different right-of-way rules, traffic lights
o A fast openGL graphical user interface
o Manages networks with several 10.000 edges (streets)
o Fast execution speed (up to 100.000 vehicle updates/s on a 1GHz
machine)
o Interoperability with other application at run-time
o Network-wide, edge-based, vehicle-based, and detector-based outputs
o Supports person-based inter-modal trips
• Network Import
o Imports VISUM, Vissim, Shapefiles, OSM, RoboCup, MATsim, OpenDRIVE,
and XML-Descriptions
o Missing values are determined via heuristics
• Routing
o Microscopic routes - each vehicle has an own one
o Different Dynamic User Assignment algorithms
• High portability
o Only standard C++ and portable libraries are used
o Packages for Windows main Linux distributions exist
• High interoperability through usage of XML-data only
• Open source
KENPAVE

KENPAVE is a computer program package that is used to analyze and calculate the
stresses, strains, and deformations of pavements. There are 4 programs under KENPAVE,
LAYERINP, KENLAYER, SLABSINP, and KENSLABS.

KENLAYER is used for flexible pavements with no joints or rigid layers. While the KENSLABS
program should be used for pavements having hard layers, such as PCC and
composite pavements. KENLAYER's main component is the answer to an elastic
multilayer system beneath a circularly loaded area. The solutions are applied
repeatedly for non-linear layers and collocated at different times for viscoelastic layers.
Then the solutions are superimposed for numerous wheels. KENLAYER can therefore be
used to model layered systems with one, two, four, or two three wheels, each of which
has a different behavior, either linear elastic, nonlinear elastic, or viscoelastic. Each year
can then be divided into a maximum of 12 eras, each with a unique set of material
attributes, allowing for damage analysis. Maximum load groups per period, whether
single or multiple, are 12. To determine the design life, the harm from fatigue cracking
and permanent deformation in each period across all load categories is added
together.
