Quadstone Paramics - Road Traffic and Transportation Simulation Software

Paramics is a suite of microscopic simulation modules providing a powerful, integrated platform for modelling a complete range of real world traffic and transportation problems. Paramics modules work together to improve usability, integration, and productivity allowing users, and their clients, to get added value from the modelling process. Paramics is fully scaleable and designed to handle scenarios as wide-ranging as a single intersection, a congested freeway or the modelling of an entire city's traffic system.

Quadstone Paramics is the only truly independent vendor of microsimulation software. We develop, market and sell our own software and are able to offer a high quality, uniquely independent and unbiased service to all our customers.

TRAFFIC SIMULATION PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Paramics provides a complete range of products and services for the traffic microsimulation industry. Paramics is not just about software, we also offer a range of training and APT accreditation services. In addition our trained and experienced engineers provide comprehensive professional services tailored to suit any clients needs.

PARAMICS MODELLER - THE TRANSPORTATION MODELLING TOOL

Paramics Modeller is a commercial transportation modelling tool that provides three fundamental operations - model build, traffic simulation (with 3D visualisation), and statistical output accessible through a powerful and intuitive graphical user interface. Every aspect of the transportation network can be investigated in Modeller including:

• Mixed urban and freeway networks
• Right-hand and left-hand drive capabilities
• Advanced signal control
• Roundabouts
• Public transportation
• Car parking
• Incidents
• Truck and high occupancy lanes

By modelling individual vehicles Modeller provides the transportation professional with insight into and a better understanding of many hundreds of network issues, resulting in a more efficient and effective approach to projects.

The high quality visualisation of the vehicles in the network makes modeller the perfect tool for presenting project results to non-technical audiences.

PARAMICS ANALYSER - MODELLING STATISTICS DATA ANALYSIS TOOL

Analyser is a powerful post data analysis tool used for custom analysis and reporting of model statistics. It can be used to interrogate a single set of data or to compare multiple datasets from multiple sources e.g. base layout, alternatives and observed field data, helping to speed up the model calibration and validation process.

Analyser provides statistics suitable for every user's needs including user definable HCM style level of service and MOEs. Analyser provides a set of automation tools such as report templates and project workspaces to help users manage their data and minimise the time required to obtain project-critical statistics.

PARAMICS PROGRAMMER - RESEARCH AND CUSTOMISATION API

Programmer is a comprehensive development API for the Paramics suite. It is the most powerful research and customisation tool available for users interested in microscopic traffic simulation. Programmer allows users to augment the core Paramics simulation with new functions, driver behaviours and practical features.

Researchers can opt to override or replace sections of the core Paramics simulation with their own behavioural models. Programmer can be used for research, all aspects of ITS, real-time connectivity and control, connectivity to real world hardware and software systems, and advanced or customised model behaviours.

PROFESSIONAL SIMULATION SOFTWARE SERVICES

Quadstone Paramics provides a wide range of services with the sole aim of helping users get the most from the software. Paramics technical staff provide services for both existing and new customers. Professional services include network audits, advice with project scoping, project review at key milestones, and project specific network build advice and assistance.

WORLDWIDE CUTTING EDGE TRANSPORTATION MODELLING

The Quadstone Paramics system is used in over 40 countries and has in excess of 500 users including commercial consultants, cutting edge transportation researchers and state-funded government agencies. Paramics has been deployed successfully in hundreds of networks worldwide and has been particularly useful in modelling large-scale networks in California, New York City and Sydney amongst others. Paramics has also been utilised on numerous ITS projects in Europe and Australia.
