History

TSS originated in 1986 as LIOS, a research group at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) headed by Professor Jaume Barceló. Backed by funding from the Spanish Government and the European Union, the LIOS research projects resulted in the development of a microscopic simulator.

In 1997, on the strength of market demand for the software, the company was launched as a commercial enterprise by 8 partners, including current executive team members Jaime L. Ferrer, Dr Jordi Casas and David García. There have been 8 commercial releases of Aimsun since the company was founded.

Today, the company focusses exclusively on developing and marketing transport modelling software for traffic engineering, management and operations.

Partnerships

TSS has a partnership with pedestrian simulation company, Legion to form Legion for Aimsun, a new pedestrian modelling component that is fully integrated inside Aimsun as a plug-in. The integration makes it possible to simultaneously simulate the movements of both pedestrians and vehicles, and their interactions.
