PTV Vissim - Public Transport Modelling (TR-T0213)

Applying Public Transit to an existing PTV Vissim microsimulation network

  • Short description

    In this course we show you the options available in PTV Vissim to model complex parking situations and the related vehicle behaviour. We explore different parking techniques along with the interaction of parking vehicles as well as parking structures with public transport and other general traffic. In practice examples you will learn how to model multi-level parking and huge car parks.

    We will also discuss advanced parking options that go beyond PTV Vissim using the built-in COM interface to program own tools.

    Please note: the use of the COM interface in this course is limited to parking related usage. To learn more about the COM functionalities, we recommend our course “PTV Vissim - Extending capabilities using the COM interface” (TR-T0205)
