Microsimulation makes abstract data understandable and visual. It supports you in mapping traffic processes, identifying potential weaknesses – and their causes – in the network, as well as validating measures that have a positive influence on traffic. With a microscopic traffic simulation tool you can create a realistic visualisation which makes traffic behaviour understandable for those with a non-technical background, especially if political bodies or the wider public are involved in decision-making processes. Planning alternatives that do not yet exist will be visible and complex links will be intuitive and clear.

It is for this reason that we designed PTV Vissim as a visual tool. The particular advantage of microscopic simulation software lies in the attention to detail, with which you are able to create a virtual reality. With PTV Vissim, you can map out how motorists and pedestrians across the entire transport network interact according to their stereotypical movement behaviour. In addition, visualising each and every traffic light gives a good overview of which lights are turned to green and which are red. PTV Vissim allows you to refine your level of detail as close to reality as possible, so that your model is displayed in the truest definition possible.
