2. Overview The Vision Traffic software is the worldwide standard in software-based transport planning, traffic engineering and traffic simulation . The level of integration and compatibility of product is unexcelled, since the Vision Traffic software covers the entire range of transport planning - from strategic planning and traffic engineering to vehicle and pedestrian simulation.

3. Use of Software 1. Junction Geometry With PTV Vissim it is possible to model and study any node geometry and any type of priority and signalling . Signal control Signal groups Signal Phasing Non-signalised intersections Multimodality 2. Multimodal Systems With PTV Vissim different multimodal scenarios can be modelled realistically and assessed with regard to the effect they have on traffic – whether for motorised traffic such as cars, lorries and buses, rail-based transport such as trams and trains, or non-motorised traffic such as pedestrians and cyclists. Bicycle traffic Public transport Pedestrians

Bicycle traffic Public transport Pedestrians 4. Motorway Traffic With PTV Vissim achieves realistic results at this aggregated level by means of detailed geometry and microscopic behaviour models. Operational level: Driving behaviour Tactical level: Lane selection and cooperative behaviour 5. Public Transport With PTV Vissim aids traffic engineers in different sub-disciplines of public transport planning and offers them an extensive range of dedicated features and detailed modelling possibilities.  Public transport partial route diversion Public transport priority

5. Benefits of Software 1. Multimodality Dedicated motion models for motorised traffic, bicycles and pedestrians make a valid assessment and a realistic representation of all traffic-related aspects possible . 2. Maximum accuracy links and connectors concept, you can map your network in detail and model different geometries – from a standard node to complex intersections.  3. Virtual testing of autonomous vehicles The capability of the software to model all modes of transport and their interactions integrated in a single tool allows users not only to test the dynamics of automated vehicles but also to convey a valid assessment of all traffic-related aspects . 4. Ease-of-use & productivity The graphical user interface with 2D and 3D network windows, editors with many features for efficiently creating and editing network objects and their attributes, as well as numerous options for outputting results, all ensure ideal user-friendliness.
