Introduction to SATURN Course
September 14 - 16, 2010
Course Fee: £750
This course introduces SATURN (Simulation and Assignment of Traffic
to Urban Road Networks) software. Participants explore the features
of the latest software release through practical exercises
incorporating significant hands-on experience.
The course has been developed over a number of years in conjunction with experienced
practitioners from the sector, including the Greater Manchester
Transportation Unit (GMTU). It covers the theoretical principles
underlying the model; the mechanics of network building; running the
programs and analysing the outputs; the issues of calibration and
validation; forecasting and appraisal for new developments and road
schemes; and presents evidence from real life studies.
It is suitable for those who have little familiarity with, or no
formal training in, SATURN and for anyone wishing to understand the
principles of congested network assignment models.
The course is led by Dirck Van Vliet, with other expert contributions from GMTU, Highways Agency and ITS.
