- HCS 2010TM (Release 6.3) implements the procedures defined in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2010 published by the Transportation Research Board (TRB).
- This release includes the new Streets module that combines the Signalized Intersections with the Urban Streets Segments, Facilities and Multimodal procedures.
- Streets also models the effects of access points on travel speed and platoon integrity, including a dynamic time-space diagram and a segment flow profile diagram.
- Streets offers an optional Visual Mode to provide a graphical user input option with background maps, scalable grids, general results and tabular data entry screens.
- Quick Optimization (one-touch export to TRANSYT-7F) and Full Optimization (HCM-based internal genetic algorithm) optimize user-defined signal timing parameters.

TSIS-CORSIMTM version 6.2 plus TRANSYT-7FTM is now available for purchase, and has been mailed at no cost to all registered users with a current support subscription. Version 6.2 offers a variety of new features including signal pre-emption for actuated controllers, traffic assignment for actuated controllers, two-lane rural highways with passing and no-passing zones, vehicle type O-D volumes in FRESIM, laneage drawing in TSIS Next, and TRANSYT-7F signal optimization. Read about these features.
TSIS 6.3 is nearing release and beta testing has begun. Currently-registered users that would like to join the beta team are encouraged to contact McTrans. Once finalized, the final release version will be automatically sent to all current users. TSIS 6.3 features high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, advanced toll plazas, adaptive cruise control, and various minor improvements.

McTrans Training
McTrans has developed and is presenting training courses on the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2010) using the Highway Capacity Software (HCS 2010). There is a one-day workshop that details the changes in the HCM 2010 and previews the HCS 2010 application, a two-day training course that provides step-by-step instruction on the new HCM 2010 procedures with HCS 2010 demonstrations, and a three-day hands-on training course that also includes working problems manually and applying them using the HCS 2010. Signal Timing Analysis courses using Release 11 of TRANSYT-7F and CORSIM Simulation for Beginners seminars using TSIS 6 are also available. Please contact us if you would like to help arrange a course in your area.
