PTV Vissim
Multimodal Traffic Simulation Software
The world's leading traffic simulation software PTV Vissim enables traffic planners, engineers and consultants to plan, test and justify mobility measures before they are implemented.
With realistic microscopic and multimodal simulation, powerful scenario evaluation, and convincing visual outputs, PTV Vissim reveals complex traffic interactions and provides credible, science-based evidence for better planning decisions.
PTV Vissim provides decision-makers with confidence
Simulate mobility - down to every interaction
PTV Vissim digitally reproduces the traffic patterns of all road users on a microscopic scale, using science-based motion and interaction models for pedestrians, vehicles (lane and non-lane based), micromobility and automated vehicles (Avs). It is fully multimodal, including even rail andurban air mobility. The software allows you to evaluate and optimize the performance of transport infrastructure, make data-based planning decisions, and proactively tackle challenges such as congestion, emissions, and the fair and safe distribution of road space among the modes. PTV Vissim is furthermore being used for the simulation of pedestrian flows in buildings (e.g. airports) or at events and in automotive development.
