A training course is scheduled for  January 27-29 in Moreno Valley, CA.

The Transportation Research and Analysis Computing Center at Argonne National Laboratory and the City of Moreno Valley will hold a TRANSIMS training course on January 27-29 at the city's Conference and Recreation Center. The course targets analysts new to the TRANSIMS methodology, and covers both the theoretical underpinnings as well as the practical application of the code. Participants will develop a full understanding of the general TRANSIMS principles, implementation details, data requirements, capabilities, and limitations of the software.

Now available on the sourceforge downloads. The download page is here

Thanks to David, Hubert, and Rick for making this happen!

Now available for download, these slides cover lessons learned in two open source research community development efforts in the traffic modeling and simulation domain: TRANSIMS and NGSIM. Although different types of federally-sponosored open source research communities, one can draw several similar observations regarding the two communities. The slides address fundamental issues for both communities ranging from motivating participation, maintaining infrastructure, and adapting for self-governance.

Actually it's 4.02.02, but who's counting?  Check the TRANSIMS project download page here. The new version rolls up a lot of bug fixes, new functionality for existing programs and some new utilities as well. A new installer package is also available. To see what's in the new version, read the 4.02 changelog in the documention set or check the wiki 4.02 changelog page. Post to the software workshop in the 4.02 release thread for any comments on the changes. Bugs reports and requests for help should be posted in the usual locations.

In an effort to keep improving the web site’s functionality and flow we have introduced a new menu to allow you to quickly access the following key areas of the site: forums, wiki, bug tracker and home page. Now moving between these areas of the site can easily be done by clicking one the links in the header of any of the pages. No more having to go back to the main page to select a different part of the site. This new menu also removes the need for a 2nd slider bar on long pages and allows users to bookmark pages directly instead of just the section home page.

We hope you like the new menu and if there is any way we can improve the site more please let us know.
