The mezzo level transport simulation program from Canadian firm 3174 Inro has been finding larger and wider uses recently the firm reports, and it says Dynameq licences for up to 20,000 links have been taken.  It is expected that larger dynamic traffic assignment models will be used. 

The program has been finding uses across the state from cities like San Francisisco to Portland where the Portland Metro is using it to build corridor studies. Metro is elevating DTA to “everyday tool” status, to provide better input to microsimulation, to link to the MOVES emissions model, to investigate transit treatment in DTA, and to link to Metro's tour based model.
Dynameq has also been used for a Smart Corridor study for the Thurston Regional Planning Council was built to plan and evaluate ITS initiatives and a BRT system in Olympia, WA. The model has also helped inform incident response, evaluation of signal coordination and optimization and transit priority.
