Immense and SYSTRA agree partnership

Technology company IMMENSE has formed a partnership with consultancy SYSTRA Group to develop simulation and modelling tools and services to better understand and plan for future mobility demands. 

The businesses say they will provide a “new software platform and services to enable more informed decision-making on congestion, economy and climate change through rapidly testing many different real-world scenarios”. 

This, they say, will allow in-depth analysis of data relating to urban and suburban travel, connected logistics, electric mobility and the provision of public, on-demand transport. 

Robin North, chief executive at Immense, said: “There are hard choices to make about uncertain futures. This partnership with SYSTRA gives us access to unparalleled expertise to provide confidence in infrastructure systems decisions. Together we will deliver fast, cost-effective insights and put sophisticated simulation tools in the hands of decision-makers around the world.” 

Nick Salt, SYSTRA’s chief executive, added: “Mobility is increasingly determined by user demand. It is less routine, more flexible and less constrained by a fixed transport offer. 

“So, how can these new forms of mobility be understood? How can their development be predicted? How can decision-makers be given the keys to organising the provision of services, in their town, city or region?”
