VISSIM is a microscopic traffic simulation software used to model and analyze traffic flow on roads and highways, including interactions between different modes of transportation. It’s a tool for simulating and evaluating traffic conditions in order to optimize infrastructure design, plan transportation systems, and address challenges like congestion and emissions.
VISSIM is used for a variety of purposes, including:
-
Infrastructure Design: Evaluating the effectiveness of road designs, intersections, and public transport systems.
-
Traffic Management: Developing and testing traffic management strategies, such as signal timing plans.
-
Transportation Planning: Analyzing the impact of new transportation projects and policies.
-
Automotive Testing: Creating realistic virtual test environments for vehicle development according to PTV group.
-
Safety Analysis: Identifying potential safety issues and evaluating safety improvements.
