Mitigation

PTV Vistro provides a Mitigation process, which allows you to evaluate potential mitigation measures for intersections that may not meet operational standards. Upon editing the inputs while testing mitigations, the calculations change on the fly to provide the user with an interactive mitigation testing environment. A figure of the Mitigation Table is shown below.

Table definitions are presented in the table below the figure Mitigation Table.

Figure 43: Mitigation Table

In the Mitigation table, the Unmitigated condition is always present. Here, you can see the basic Intersection Setup and Traffic Control parameters associated with the overall operations at the intersection. Any changes made in the Unmitigated condition will be applied to the network.

For each Mitigation Option, the Unmitigated Summary is shown at the top of the table for easy comparison. In this Mitigation Option table, you can change the Control Type, Analysis Method, and the associated geometry and traffic control parameters.

Not all parameters are available for editing in the Mitigation Option as the intent is to provide a reasonable analysis with minimal data entry to evaluate the feasibility of various Mitigation measures.

Additional functions and features enable easier Mitigation testing as well as comparison of results across the Options, as summarized below.
