Application area of PTV Vissim

PTV Vissim is the leading microscopic simulation program for modeling multimodal transport operations and belongs to the Vision Traffic Suite software.

Realistic and accurate in every detail, Vissim creates the best conditions for you to test different traffic scenarios before their realization.

Vissim is now being used worldwide by the public sector, consulting firms and universities.

In addition to the simulation of vehicles by default, you can also use Vissim to perform simulations of pedestrians based on the Wiedemann model (Version-specific functions of pedestrian simulation).

Simulation of pedestrians with PTV Viswalk

PTV Viswalk is the leading software for pedestrian simulation. Based on the Social Force Model by Prof. Dr. Dirk Helbing, it reproduces the human walking behavior realistically and reliably. This software solution with powerful features is used when it is necessary to simulate and analyze pedestrian flows, be it outdoors or indoors.

Viswalk is designed for all those who wish to take into account the needs of pedestrians in their projects or studies, for example for traffic planners and traffic consultants, architects and owners of publicly accessible properties, event managers and fire safety officers.

Using PTV Viswalk alone, however, you cannot simulate vehicle flows. To simulate vehicle and pedestrian flows, you need Vissim and the add-on module PTV Viswalk. You can then choose whether to use the modeling approach of Helbing or Wiedemann.
