Core offering

McTrans Center develops, distributes, and supports transportation engineering analysis software that implements the methodologies of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) and Highway Safety Manual (HSM). Its core offerings are Highway Capacity Software (HCS) for macroscopic traffic capacity analysis, Highway Safety Software (HSS) for safety and crash prediction, TSIS-CORSIM for microscopic traffic simulation, and CodeGREEN for traffic signal optimization, sold as annual subscription licenses with serial number activation. The center also delivers expert-led training and consulting services.

Product overview

McTrans Center offers a suite of transportation analysis software products for traffic engineering professionals. The core portfolio consists of three main software tools: Highway Capacity Software (HCS) for macroscopic traffic capacity analysis based on Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodologies; Highway Safety Software (HSS) for traffic safety and crash prediction based on Highway Safety Manual (HSM) methods; and TSIS-CORSIM for microscopic traffic simulation combining NETSIM, FRESIM, and TRANSYT-7F engines. These products are complemented by CodeGREEN for traffic signal optimization, training services (virtual, self-paced, and in-person), and consulting services. The software suite emphasizes HCM and HSM compliance and is used by over 15,000 users across 77 countries.

Products and services

• Highway Capacity Software (HCS) Comprehensive macroscopic traffic analysis tool for analyzing freeways, arterials, and intersections using US Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodologies. Supports modules for freeways, multilane highways, two-lane highways, signalized and unsignalized intersections, roundabouts, urban streets, and freeway facilities. Used by transportation engineers at DOTs and consulting firms.
• Highway Safety Software (HSS) Traffic safety and capacity analysis platform implementing AASHTO's Highway Safety Manual (HSM) predictive methods, including crash frequency prediction, safety performance functions, and crash modification factors with support for local and state-level calibration.
• TSIS-CORSIM Microscopic traffic simulation tool for defining and managing traffic analysis projects, creating network inputs, executing simulation models, and interpreting results. Combines NETSIM and FRESIM simulation engines with TRANSYT-7F signal optimization.
• CodeGREEN Traffic signal optimization solution for complete traffic signal timing and coordination analysis.
• Training Services Expert-led training including virtual course calendar, self-paced learning modules, and in-person training sessions covering transportation analysis methodologies and software applications, totaling 5,400+ hours taught annually.
• Consulting Services Technical consulting services provided by McTrans experts for transportation analysis projects.

Quantifiable outcome

• Comprehensive analysis scope covering freeways, arterials, intersections, roundabouts, weaving segments, managed lanes, and work zones

Broad incumbents

• Iteris: Intelligent transportation systems vendor combining traffic analytics, signal operations, and managed services with adjacent ClearGuide analytics; competes with McTrans in DOT-facing operations and planning contracts.
• Bentley Systems (Cube, ex-Citilabs): Large infrastructure engineering software platform that acquired Citilabs and now sells Cube Voyager for transportation demand modeling and macro-level analyses — broader portfolio but directly overlapping with HCS at the strategic planning layer.

Direct peers

• PTV Group: German transportation software vendor whose PTV VISSIM (microscopic simulation), PTV Visum (macroscopic planning), and Viswalk directly compete with TSIS-CORSIM, HCS, and pedestrian analysis tools across DOT and consulting customers.
• Transoft Solutions: Develops transportation engineering design software (e.g., AutoTURN, GuidSIGN, TORUS) used by DOTs and consultants for intersection and design analysis, overlapping with McTrans's intersection-design modules.
• INRO Software (EMME): EMME provides multimodal transportation planning and macro/mesoscopic modeling software used by state DOTs and consultancies — comparable to HCS at the planning level with parallel subscription economics.
• Caliper Corporation: Long-established US vendor of TransCAD (transportation planning GIS) and TransModeler (microsimulation), offering an overlapping product portfolio targeted at the same DOT and consulting engineering segments.
• TSS - Aimsun (Yunex Traffic): Develops Aimsun Next, a microscopic and mesoscopic traffic simulation platform widely used by transportation agencies — directly comparable to TSIS-CORSIM with active cloud/SaaS delivery.
• Trafficware / Synchro (Cubic Transportation): Synchro Studio and traffic signal timing tools are widely used by traffic engineers alongside HCM/HSM analyses, directly competing with HCS/CodeGREEN in signalized intersection and signal-timing workflows.

Emerging players

• StreetLight Data: Data-driven transportation analytics SaaS that ingests mobile and sensor data to produce O-D and traffic metrics, increasingly used as an alternative or complement to traditional HCM-based analyses by DOTs.
• Remix (part of Via Transportation): Cloud-native multimodal transportation planning platform serving DOTs and consultancies — overlapping with HCS at the planning and intersection-design level while offering a modern SaaS delivery model.
