HCS (Highway Capacity Software) is a traffic analysis program implementing the Highway Capacity Manual, developed by the McTrans Center at the University of Florida since 1987.

MATSim

MATSim (Multi-Agent Transport Simulation) is an open-source Java framework for large-scale agent-based transport simulations, developed by teams at ETH Zurich, TU Berlin, and CNRS Lyon.

PARAMICS

PARAMICS is a microscopic traffic simulation package modeling individual vehicles on road networks, developed at the University of Edinburgh and now sold as Paramics Discovery by SYSTRA.

PTV VISSIM

PTV VISSIM is a commercial microscopic traffic simulation software by Germany's PTV Group, first released in 1993, that models cars, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians individually.

TraCI
