Course Descriptions

Automation with Emme Flow

0.5 day or 1 online session

Emme Flow is a code-free automation system to assemble and run travel demand models and related workflows without the need to write code. Learn to build
reusable and customized workflows from Emme procedures, instrument control flow using iteration and branching, manipulate variables with expressions, and add
inline documentation and organization. Participants will learn with hands-on examples.

Prerequisites
Emme Basics

Building Modeller Tools - Scripting 2

0.5 day or 1 online session

Develop your own Modeller tools with customized front ends and logging. Leverage tools from the Emme Standard toolbox, use Emme APIs calls, third-party Python
libraries and your own code. Share your tools in toolboxes with open or compiled code.

Prerequisites
Emme Notebook and Scripting.

Demand modelling with Agent

1.5 days or 3 online sessions

A comprehensive course intended for modellers who will develop, maintain or analyze travel demand models with Agent. Participants will develop an understanding
of contrasting travel demand model structures including zonal aggregate, hybrid, tour-based and simple activity-based models as implemented in Agent. A series of
demonstrations and hands-on exercises covers the specification of location-, temporal- and other choice models, management of model segmentation, chaining
models, time-space constraints, schema definition, relational expressions, tour tracing, calibration and other results visualization and diagnostics.

Participants should have some prior familiarity with travel demand models and discrete choice logistic regression, ideally with Emme.

DTA Model Assessment and Calibration with Dynameq

1.5 days or 3 online sessions

This course introduces Dynameq features and workflows for DTA model assessment and calibration. Demonstrations and hands-on exercises drawn from real-world
applications are used to cover diagnostic outputs, assessment of traffic counts, network calibration parameters, gridlock avoidance, route choice, and simulation-
based matrix adjustment. Preparation and assessment of future scenarios is also discussed.

Prerequisites
DTA Modelling with Dynameq or equivalent knowledge.

DTA Modelling with Dynameq

3 days or 6 online sessions

A comprehensive introductory course intended for modellers who will develop, maintain, or analyze traffic simulation models with Dynameq. Participants will
develop a basic understanding of traffic simulation and dynamic user-equilibrium traffic assignment (DTA) and get an in-depth look at features for developing and
visualizing DTA models. Demonstrations and hands-on exercises drawn from real-world applications are used to cover network representation, transit lines and
traffic control, validation of model inputs, and visualization and interpretation of model results and vehicle animations.

Prerequisites
Experience in transportation system modelling and/or traffic simulation is recommended but not required.

Emme Basics
2 days or 4 online sessions

This course provides a concise introduction to multimodal networks, visualization and analysis in Emme multimodal transport planning software, including network
editing, mapping (2D and 3D) and scenario comparison and evaluation. Participants will develop proficiency with Emme Desktop to edit network data and to create
rich maps, charts and tables for reporting, and with Emme Modeller tools for scenario and data management. This course does not cover network modeling
procedures.

Prerequisites
None

Emme Notebook and Scripting

1 day or 2 online sessions

Emme provides native and comprehensive Python scripting to develop Emme model workflows and results analysis, customize maps and charts, automate
reporting, work efficiently with network, matrix and other Emme data, build your own Modeller tools with customized front-ends, monitor and audit model runs and
much more. Learn everything you need to know about scripting Emme in this hands-on Python course, delivered as an interactive workshop featuring dozens of
useful scripting applications. Participants learn how to author and run scripts in Emme Notebook as well as how to deploy scripts for standalone operation.
Participants meeting the course prerequisites will be ready to apply techniques and code snippets on their own projects immediately.

Prerequisites
Familiarity with Emme Desktop and Emme Modeller. Completion of Python tutorial sections 1-5 or equivalent; sections 6-8 recommended.

Introduction to Emme
3 days or 6 online sessions

This course provides a condensed introduction to Emme multimodal transport planning software, including hands-on experience with tools for data
management and network editing, multimodal network modelling, mapping (2D and 3D), analysis and scenario evaluation. Participants will develop
proficiency with Emme Desktop to edit network data and to create rich maps, charts and tables for reporting, and with Emme Modeller to prepare
and run standard model procedures including traffic and transit assignments.

Prerequisites
Experience in transportation system modelling is recommended but not required.
