Objective
To develop an open platform for Urban Transportation SystemPlanning (UTSP) through which individuals can practically learnas well as add the various models such as classic four stage,activity-based, discrete choice, dynamic traffic assignment etc.involved in UTSP in an informative and user friendly way.

Scope of work
• Understanding the various concepts involved in UTSP.
• Going through the work-flow of other transportationplanning softwares like CUBE, Aimsun, PTV Visum,TRANSIMS, TRACKS and DynusT.
• Analysing and coding the various concepts pertaining tovarious stages of Four Stage Model (FSM).
• Better user interaction and graphical representationallowing users to add their own concepts and understandthem visually.
• Hypothetical data preparation for the experiments.

Technology Selection
User perspective
• It should employ a user-friendly GUI (Graphical UserInterface.)
• It should be easily extendible (for adding model) andmaintainable.
• It should be designed for wider distribution over variouscomputational platforms.
• It should come along with a help/tutorial system which canexplain concepts in a user friendly manner.
19 / 25
Technology Selection(Contd.)
Developer perspective
• The selected framework should well established in thetechnology industry as well as built in User interfacemanagement (e.g. menus and tool bars), Windowmanagement, Storage management (saving and loadingany kind of data), Wizard framework, Modular Architecture,Remote deployment features.
• To easily integrate 3rd party application• A good IDE with an efficient build system, a graphical
debugger and GUI designer tool kit.
20 / 25
Technology Selection(Contd.)
Selected Platform
• Programming Language: Java• Application Framework: Java standard Library, Netbeans
API• IDE: Netbeans
