VISSIM Insights

What is VISSIM?

PTV VISSIM is a microscopic, time step based simulation software used for modeling multimodal traffic flow. It simulates the behavior of individual vehicles and pedestrians, allowing users to analyze and optimize traffic operations, assess the impact of infrastructure changes, and evaluate intelligent transportation systems. It's commonly used for traffic engineering, urban planning, and transportation research.
