4 4 Whether you need to take fundamental decisions on the layout of your transport infrastructure (round-about or classicintersection?), evaluate public transport priority schemes or assess the effects of specific signal switching patterns PTV Vissim enables precise simulations of the impact on all Traffic flows. The system is the world s leading software for microscopic Traffic simulation and covers all modes of transport, from motorized private transport, goods transport and road- or rail-bound public transport right up to pedestrians and cyclists. Its wide range of analysis options makes PTV Vissim a powerful tool for planning and optimizing transport systems in both urban and interurban Vissim is seamlessly integrated in the Sitraffic system landscape PTV Vissim is fully compatible withSitraffic Office, allowing the softwareto simulate the entire range of Traffic control and management systems of theSitraffic family.

5 From Traffic controlplatforms with Sitraffic Scala, Sitraffic Concert and Sitraffic Guide and adaptive network control with Sitraffic Motion MX down to individual Traffic opens up a wide scope of applica-tions for intersection, route and network Office and PTV Vissimideally complement each otherAll steps can be carried out at a single workstation, from planning an intersec-tion (including tests and simulation ofintersection design and data supply) right up to planning Traffic actuation algo-rithms for entire networks. PTV Vissim and Sitraffic Office are seamlesslyintegrated, enabling the direct transferof all required data and configurationparameters from Sitraffic Office toPTV Vissim .

6 Hence the user can start the test or simulation process right withinSitraffic types of data that can be transmitted include, for instance, intersection topology, Multi-modal Traffic simulation with PTV VissimThe ideal toolfor transport plannerslayout plan, individual links or theentire network with all relevant objects, as well as Traffic volume profiles onthe basis of existing directional volume flows. For different intersection states orversions, identical simulation parameters are used. Naturally, all relevant data are stored also in the central data baseof Sitraffic PTV Vissim , planning Traffic -actuated control processes is based on an exact model of the physical controllerThere are tools where the simulations at the test station differ considerably from the actual processes in the physical Traffic equipment.

7 Not so with PTV VA modules and identical codes ensure that the simulations of Traffic -actuated control processes exactly match their real-life Vissim packages to suit variousextension stages of Traffic -actuated network control systemsFor simulating Motion MX we havedesigned ready-to-use virtual simulation engines for three different levels ofsystem complexity: PTV Vissim Compact: for max. 3 Traffic signal systems and a maximum extension of km in x- or y-direction PTV Vissim Standard: for max. 20 Traffic signal systems and a maximum extension of 10 km in x- or y-direction PTV Vissim Extended: for max. 999 Traffic signal systems and an extension of more than 10 km in x- or y-directionPTV Vissim provides easy-to-under-stand visualizations for convincingpresentationsPTV Vissim makes it possible to present the simulation and evaluation resultsfor different scenarios and planning cases in different easy-to-understand andthus convincing forms such as detailed reports, different perspectives andimpressive 3D animated graphics.

8 So also non-professionals in Traffic engineering will be enabled to make Vissim :Convincing functionality!

The system has been designed for analyzing and modeling networks of any size and Traffic management systems of all types,from individual intersections right up to entire links and connectors concept ofthe PTV Vissim network topology allows for highest versatility and in combi-nation with detailed motion models extremely precise Traffic modeling,including pedestrians and their complex interaction with the surroundingtraffic cases and functionsPTV Vissim provides conclusiveanswers to all kinds of trafficengineering questionsHow effective is the PT priority schemein the inner city of x?

9 What will be the benefits of Traffic -actuated signal control at intersection y? What are the optimum dimensions and design of a large PT node? PTV Vissim makes it easy to find the answers to these and many other Vissim can model both motorized and non-motorized Traffic flowsFor Traffic flow modeling, an unlimited number of vehicle types can be defined in PTV Vissim , including cars, trucks,vehicles equipped with satnavs, busses, tramway and light-rail vehicles and even airplanes. In addition to motorizedmeans of transport, the system can also include pedestrians, cyclists and wheel-chair users in the Vissim uses a psycho-physicaldriving-behavior modelFor simulating the movements of thevehicles involved, PTV Vissim uses anevidence-based psycho-physical car-fol-lowing model with a temporal resolution of up to 1/10 seconds.

10 The rule-based lane-change model has been optimized for simulating urban as well as interurban Traffic . Driver behavior patterns can be defined on the basis of user-configurable driver-vehicle Vissim offers different waysof visualizing route choicesWhen working with PTV Vissim , the user has the choice of different options forvisualizing route choices to perfectly suit the available data sets and thespecific objective of the analysis at Vissim simulations can includeall types of public transportFor many years now, PTV Vissim has been the software of choice for modeling public transport. For studies on mass transit, the user can specify public trans-port routes, various public transport vehicle types, timetables, stops, stop types and dwell times.
