Transportation Research and Analysis Computing Center at Argonne National Laboratory has held nearly a dozen of courses on TRANSIMS. The courses originated from the need to train several groups of students and collaborators that work on a major evacuation study for Chicago under a project for the Illinois Department of Transportation and other regional agencies.

The course is targeting primarily 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.
TRANSIMS (short for Transportation Analysis and Simulation System) is an integrated set of tools developed to conduct regional multimodal transportation system analyses. With the goal of establishing TRANSIMS as an ongoing public resource available to the transportation community, TRANSIMS is made available by the Federal Highway Administration under a NASA Open Source Agreement and is therefore readily available to the community.

Recordings of the January 2011 Training Course at Argonne National Laboratory

The individual sessions held at the January 2011 Training Course have been recorded using Acrobat Connect (the software used to hold the Intenet-based training sessions). The only software necessary to view these sessions is the Flash Player, which is typically already installed on nearly all standard Windows PCs.
