TSS and Legion Team Up
April 2007
City planners in all professions will soon be better able to design schemes that truly take into account the different, often competing, requirements of pedestrians and traffic, thanks to a new partnership between Legion and TSS. Teaming up, the two companies will be able to realise their vision of delivering fully integrated mobility simulation for urban environments.
London-based software house Legion and technology company TSS, based in Spain, make the perfect partners. Legion Studio 2006 is the world's most widely adopted and most advanced software for the planning, design and 3D visualisation of spaces for pedestrians. AIMSUN by TSS is the most technically advanced and conceptually integrated software tool for planning, management and visualisation of vehicular traffic.
The first fruit of this collaboration will be a new module for Legion Studio. Launching in mid 2007, ‘AIMSUN for Legion’ will deliver realistic simulations of both people and vehicle movements seen in 2D and 3D – cutting any duplication of effort. ‘Aimsun for Legion’ will make it easier and faster for planners to test and improve plans before they’re implemented, at what could otherwise have been great expense and inconvenience.
According to Jaime Ferrer, Managing Director of TSS,

“This is exactly what architects, engineers, urban planners, and transport engineers around the world have been crying out for – a single tool capable of modelling all forms of mobility in cities,” says Legion’s CTO Dr Alex Gerodimos. “Combining our expertise with TSS’s means we can meet that need faster, producing software to a higher standard and with more functionality than anything either company could produce independently.”

According to Jaime Ferrer, Managing Director of TSS,
“Planners have long wanted pedestrians and cars to make peace. Poorly designed and overloaded schemes put people at odds, and even in danger. With cities mushrooming, it’s increasingly important to accommodate these two forms of mobility in our schemes. To date, no single framework has supported the detailed assessments of both walking and driving patterns and their interactions.
‘AIMSUN for Legion’ is the prelude to a series of joint products that will put paid to the ‘work-arounds’ that have been used in the past. By combining the power of Legion and TSS, it will be possible to arrive at schemes that work for both drivers and pedestrians, faster and more reliably; our cities should flow better as a result.”
