POLARIS is a high-performance, computationally efficient tool that implements advanced travel and freight demand modeling, dynamic traffic assignment, and transportation simulation into an integrated modeling platform. POLARIS features an integrated network-demand model, in which all the aspects of travel decisions can be modeled simultaneously, including
Activity generation;
Activity planning (e.g., departure time, destination choice, mode-choice, etc.);
Multi-modal route choice;
Activity planning and rescheduling;
Freight and logistics planning; and
Fleet and transit service operational controls.
QPolaris is the QGIS interface for Polaris, including access to many features of Polaris' Python API through Polaris-Studio, as well as additional visualization and model-building tools
