Core tools
Polaris
A high-performance, agent-based mesoscopic traffic simulator developed by the Argonne National Laboratory Vehicle & Systems Mobility Group. Polaris enables travel and freight demand modeling, dynamic traffic allocation, and transportation simulation in an integrated modeling platform. In addition, traffic management can be implemented and different vehicle types can be considered.
Autonomie
A vehicle systems simulation tool developed by the Argonne National Laboratory Vehicle & Systems Mobility Group. It allows evaluating the energy consumption, performance, cost and emissions of different vehicle technologies, including different classes of vehicles, from light to heavy, different types of fuel, such as gasoline, diesel and ethanol, as well as electric vehicles, hybrids and variations.
AERMOD
An atmospheric dispersion modeling system developed by the American Meteorological Society (AMS)/United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulatory Model Improvement Committee. It is the reference model for studying air quality in the United States of America and is used worldwide.
