A transportation forecasting system for planning urban, regional and national mobility

EMME is multimodal transport planning software that helps cities, planning agencies, infrastructure owners, and mobility providers to answer essential “What if?” questions about transportation networks and how they are used. EMME integrates advanced network and demand modeling capabilities, making it an ideal platform for the strategic planning of public transit, private traffic, and other modes of travel considering changes in infrastructure, land use, mobility policy, and pricing. By modeling the people, places, and choices involved in travel, EMME helps planners forecast transport system performance including measures such as accessibility, revenue, sustainability, and equity by evaluating any number of virtual scenarios to better inform real-world planning decisions.

AGENT Add-on enables use of the AGENT travel demand modeling platform within EMME. To use AGENT, you’ll need to have both EMME and AGENT Add-on entitlements. To purchase, select “AGENT Add-on” from the product drop-down and add it to your cart. 

Understand existing and future transport networks and how people use them

EMME powers transport models with algorithms and procedures designed to work rigorously and on large applications. The EMME toolbox provides over one hundred reusable components to help create and maintain accurate virtual representations of your transportation networks. Model and analyze details of multimodal travel including congestion, tolls, services and fares. Leverage flexible workflow options for virtually any transport planning application and preference, from UI to Python API, to code-free automation.

Assemble travel demand models (including ABM)

Assemble, calibrate and apply virtually any travel demand model structure with out-of-the-box support for activity-based (ABM), tour-based, hybrid, or 4-step trip-based models, or mix elements of each as needed. Work with tours, trips, households and persons as well as zones and O-Ds using a clear and intuitive interface that everyone on the team can use. Model packages make it easy to maintain different models in parallel, and to upgrade over time without the high costs of re-coding or changing platform. Achieve more meaningful model results, leverage available data sets, and keep models updated with automated calibration. Includes everything needed for modern travel demand modeling, from population synthesis to agent-based choice modeling.

Some features require AGENT Add-on

Make informed planning decisions and secure stakeholder buy-in

EMME includes modern visualizations, code-friendly APIs and code-free workflows that make the full transport modeling lifecycle productive and efficient. Map, edit and compare planning scenarios with configurable maps, charts and reports. Automate anything, from data access to models to reporting, and extend and integrate with comprehensive Python APIs. Or assemble and run transport models without writing a line of code. See your travel models with 3D, interactive Scenes for simulation playback and time-based analysis.

 

Visualize and analyze planning scenarios

Make informed planning decisions with maps, charts and reports that are always up to date. At-a-glance scenario comparisons and network differences help to make data clear and actionable. Work confidently with interactive network editing, multimodal undo/redo and network build logs to keep scenarios in-sync.

  • Interactive network editing of topology and attributes
  • Extensible maps, charts and reports for visualization, analysis and reporting
  • Explore, edit and customize with relational and multimodal expressions
  • Add real-world context with out-of-the-box web basemaps or connect to on-premise or own-hosted raster tile maps

Unify mobility data

Ensure consistent, accurate and scenario-based organization of transport modeling data. Unlike solutions which focus only on networks, EMME helps you manage all the mobility data you need for modern transport modeling including multimodal network scenarios and travel demand scenarios with out-of-the-box support for trip-based, tour-based, activity-based or hybrid travel models.

  • Relational structure and expressions for multimodal network data
  • Relational structure and expressions for travel demand data (with AGENT Add-on)
  • Data management procedures, access and interoperability

Work efficiently with your model

Efficiently create and maintain transport models however you prefer to work. Do you prefer code-free workflows that let anyone on the team configure and automate model procedures using visual interfaces? Flow is a code-free automation system for easily assembling and running model workflows with iterations, branching and other control flow but no code. Or does your agency treat “model-as-code” so that you need code-friendly industry-standard Python scripting across the entire modeling lifecycle? Comprehensive APIs for scripting, automation and extension let you work entirely in code.

  • Comprehensive Python APIs
  • Notebook is an interactive computing environment in which you can combine Python code execution, rich text, plots and media with transport model procedures
  • Modeller is an extensible application framework and UI for travel demand modeling and transport planning applications
  • Flow is a code-free automation system to assemble and run transport models without writing a line of code
