Licensing Information
The Zenith model can be licensed by Government, business, academic institutions and individuals.
Zenith licences can be customised to meet the unique needs of each client. Licences generally include updates to the software and model data, and on-going user support. For more information, make an enquiry.
Licensing Individual Organisations vs Collection of Organisations
Each organisation interested in licensing Zenith can have separate contracts, payment structure and licences. Alternatively, an overriding contract and payment structure that covers all interested organisations can be drafted.
Consultants
It is important for consultants working for government to have access to Zenith. VLC offers alternative approaches to empower consultants:
- Consultants license Zenith directly for their own use
- Government licence covers consultant use of model
Additional Services
Models do not live in a vacuum. At regular intervals, they require updating. Updating demographics, land use and transportation networks are a part of regular updates. However, there are some updates that are beyond the scope of regular updates, and require vigorous recalibration. Terms for vigorous recalibration can be negotiated, as the need arises.
Expanding Capabilities
VLC has a model development programme aimed at meeting the growing needs of the transport planning industry. This programme includes:
- Junction modelling with Zenith
- CBD parking supply constraints and parking charges
- Parallel processing to improve model execution times
- Dynamic modelling of road and public transport peformance
- Departure time choice
