Paramics Microsimulation is the S-Paramics Software Development, Support and Training Division of SIAS Transport Planners

This image is taken from our calendar. 2012 does indeed start here, and will continue with further releases of our Paramics Discovery software. The new logo will gradually replace the logo with the familar "swoosh", which will remain the symbol of the current mainstream S-Paramics "2000 series".

There is much to look forward to in 2012!

A revolution for traffic flow analysis :

First introduced commercially in 1997, S-Paramics microsimulation software has now been adopted as a design tool by transport planning authorities, agencies and consultants throughout the UK and overseas. It was created by SIAS Limited, a transport planning consultancy established in 1974. SIAS's extensive experience contributes to the uniquely comprehensive Paramics Microsimulation client support service. This includes on-line technical support and model audit for the hundreds of S-Paramics software licence holders worldwide. We provide public and in-house training courses, and busy user group meetings where the wide experience of the user base can be discussed in open forum.

Only S-Paramics offers wide area modelling including tiered dynamic route choice for robust routeing in large networks, with links to ITS and UTC systems. S-Paramics can model transit operations, bus or light rail, with user defined scheduling and bus stop loading. S-Paramics also includes a batch farm to manage multiple model runs and a sophisticated data analysis tool to aggregate and compare scheme options.

In terms of traffic flow modelling, S-Paramics can do everything!

Does this make it a panacea? Possibly, but remember, a good traffic modeller can create a good traffic model out of most modelling systems, and a bad traffic modeller will always create a bad traffic model out of the best system available. What we can say without fear of contradiction is that microsimulation can be very effectively deployed for traffic flow modelling under ALL circumstances.

Paramics Microsimulation is happy to receive challenges to that assertion, and to further assert that its own product, S-Paramics, cannot be beaten on functionality, performance, veracity and output!
