The Quadstone Paramics range is separated into a number of modules each designed to undertake a specific core task, much like Microsoft’s Office suite. Quadstone Paramics is arranged in this modular way to encourage good workflow throughout the project lifecycle focusing the users’ attention and encouraging the use of the correct application for the job at all times.
Like Microsoft Office, the Paramics range can share and re-use common information and data sources. For example, observed count data can be used in Estimator for OD estimation and then used in Modeller for run time comparison between simulation and observed traffic flow. In addition, Analyser and Processor can use the same count data for sensitivity testing, automated reporting of simulation results and generic “goodness of fit” measures.
Common Tools are functional, modular components that can be dropped into one or more Quadstone Paramics applications. Common tools share information between applications and provide a consistent way to analyse and understand the decision making processes taking place inside your traffic model.
As all the tools in the Paramics range can share information you can use our Processor/Analyser tools to simulate a number of sensitivity or future year scenarios, automatically filter, interrogate, and report the results, summarise or average, and have the final output sent to your email inbox, all with a handful of mouse clicks.
