Simetra has delivered an academic version of the platform to the Irkutsk Polytechnic RITM³

2025: Provision of the RITM³ Platform

Students and specialists Irkutsk National Research Technical University (IRNITU) will begin to use the Russian transport a planning platform in training and scientific work. As RITM³ part of an agreement with the developer, a group of companies, the university SIMETRA will have access to an up-to-date knowledge base on transport modeling, and will also be able to exchange experience with transport engineers. This was Simetra announced on March 21, 2025.

Under the agreement, the ITS platform will RITM³ be installed on the basis of the IRNITU Transport Laboratory, where transport models are being developed, including for assessing the quality of transport services and researching public transport routes.

The academic version of the RITM³ available to universities includes the basic modules "Transport Forecasting and Modeling," "Road Traffic Modeling," "Transport Process Modeling," "Geo-Information System (GIS)" and "Digital Twin."

This collaboration opens up for our students, tomorrow's engineers, not only the opportunity to learn how to work on domestic platforms that they will face after graduation, but also access to the knowledge of SIMETRA experts. Our joint work will serve as a good reserve for IRNITU graduates when entering the labor market, - commented Alexey Levashev, associate professor of the Department of Road Transport, technical head of the IRNITU transport laboratory.

Access to the RITM³ platform will help students gain up-to-date skills with advanced transport modeling tools. It is critically important that young specialists not only study theory, but also know how to use digital technologies to solve real problems in the field of transport. The academic version of the RITM³ will enable future engineers to master methods of forecasting, modeling and managing traffic flows, which will increase their competitiveness in the market, "said Oleg Yakovenko, director of software sales at SIMETRA Group of Companies.
