PTV Vissim - Vissim for Reviewers (TR-T0212)

Short Description

This course provides insights and procedures commonly used to review finished PTV Vissim microsimulation traffic studies. It is designed to be a starting point for developing reviewing processes presenting workflow recommendations, best practices, and sample layouts that can streamline the review process.

Course Level

Advanced

Target Group

Users taking this course should have at least a basic understanding about how a PTV Vissim network is build and how a microscopic simulation traffic study is performed. Users reviewing models are most often project leads or public agency engineers, but this course can apply to any user performing QA/QC on a PTV Vissim model.

Prerequisites

You successfully participated in our basic course "PTV Vissim - Introduction to Microscopic Traffic Flow Simulation" (TR-T0201) or have equivalent experience generating microsimulation network models.

Duration

1 Day

Due to organizational and local conditions, the duration of the course may vary. Please note the details of your chosen course date before booking.

Contents

• Learn how to check the quality of the physical network; links, speed settings, traffic control.
• Learn how to validate the demand applied to the network; routes, vehicle inputs, turn/link counts.´
• Learn how to validate calibration settings; driver behaviors, gap acceptances, etc.
• Learn how to validate the outputs and results generated by the simulations.
• Learn how to use layouts within PTV Vissim to improve efficiency when reviewing models
• Discuss implementation of recommended values or defaults to mitigate potential discrepancies in future models; fleet settings, speed distributions, class names, etc.
