This site mains the source code and Windows-based release for DTALite+NeXTA package. DTALite is an open-source AMS library for efficiently macroscopic and mesoscopic traffic assignment based on General Modeling Network Specification (GMNS) format. NeXTA as a visualization tool for transportation Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation (AMS), developed through the support of a FHWA study.
Remarks:
-
For the Python version of DTALite and Path4GMNS package portable on Windows, Linux and MacOS, please go to https://github.com/jdlph/Path4GMNS.
-
Please download latest DTALite-NeXTA package, which follows calendar versioning. Here are the user guides for NeXTA and NeXTA+QGIS using GMNS data format. We have prepared a number of self-learning documents too.

NeXTA/DTALite Workshop Webinar by Jeff Taylor
Mini-lessson : What is the best way to learn dynamic traffic simulation and network assignment for a beginner? Do you want to integrate a powerful traffic simulator in your deep learning framework? We would like to offer a collaborative learning experience through 500 lines of python codes and real-life data sets. This is part of our mini-lessons through teaching dialog.
