TRANSYT-7F, United States Version

TRANSYT-7F release 11 is currently being beta-tested. Registered users of TRANSYT-7F release 10, or HCS+, can contact McTrans to participate in the beta test process. The combined product of HCS and TRANSYT-7F (HCS+T7F) is targeted for public release in May 2008.

TRANSYT-7F release 11 features genetic algorithm optimization of cycle length, phasing sequence, splits, and offsets. TRANSYT-7F is the only software package available that combines a state-of-the-art optimization process (including genetic algorithm, multi-period, and direct CORSIM* optimization) with a state-of-the-art macroscopic simulation model (including platoon dispersion, queue spillback, and actuated control simulation). TRANSYT-7F requires Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Click on the hyperlinks below for more information.
