Overview
editAimsun was founded in 1997 and developed Aimsun Next traffic modeling software, which simulates mobility in networks.[3]
Aimsun also develops Aimsun Live, which is a simulation-based traffic forecasting software[4] as well as Aimsun Auto for studying path planning in driverless vehicles,[5] and Aimsun Ride for modeling demand-responsive transportation services.[6]
Aimsun was acquired by Siemens in 2018 for an undisclosed sum, as part of the Siemens Mobility Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) unit.[7][8]
In 2021, Siemens Mobility carved out the Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) unit, of which Aimsun is a part, and renamed it Yunex Traffic.[9]
In 2022, Italian infrastructure group Mundys (then known as Atlantia) bought Siemens' Yunex Traffic division for 950 million euros ($1.1 billion) to expand its transport services, making Aimsun a part of the Mundys group.
