Aimsun (short for "Advanced Interactive Microscopic Simulator for Urban and Non-Urban Networks") is a software company that provides simulation software and services for transportation planning and traffic management.

Overview

Aimsun was founded in 1997 and developed Aimsun Next traffic modeling software, which simulates mobility in networks.

Aimsun also develops Aimsun Live, which is a simulation-based traffic forecasting software as well as Aimsun Auto for studying path planning in driverless vehicles, and Aimsun Ride for modeling demand-responsive transportation services.

Aimsun was acquired by Siemens in 2018 for an undisclosed sum, as part of the Siemens Mobility Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) unit.

In 2021, Siemens Mobility carved out the Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) unit, of which Aimsun is a part, and renamed it Yunex Traffic.

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.
