Optima Micro
PTV Optima Micro provides traffic forecasts for the sub-networks which are typically a smaller selection of the large-scale Optima model, based on a large-scale city or a state.
PTV Optima Micro combines PTV Optima and PTV Vissim, which is used as a "micro-simulation" engine.
It can be used mainly as decision support tool for traffic management actions in areas where the interaction of vehicles and signal controllers is a core requirement.
Examples of applications where PTV Optima Micro provides the right methodology:
- Simulating public transport prioritization schemes in real-time and with the highest level of detail.
- Testing how different ramp metering scenarios influence your network’s throughput, using real-time traffic micro-simulation.
- Improving the management of dynamic lane strategy in real-time (specific management schemes for Express Toll Lanes (ETL) and High-occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes).
- Scenarios of interaction with pedestrian (with a pre-coded number of persons) and vehicles (for example, situation at an important bus stop during a strike in a very congested day).
The results are:
- Aggregated as KPIs.
- Reliable and timely because they are based on several random seeds and calculated in a distributed environment.
