ANM Best Practice Guide

\Tutorials\

ANM_BestPracticeGuide\

The tutorial offers a best practice guide for using the ANM interface from Visum to Vissim. The guide is intended for users who have basic knowledge of PTV Visum and PTV Vissim.

The steps required can be categorized as follows

  • Steps before cutting the subnetwork in Visum
  • Steps using the subnetwork in Visum
  • Coding issues and network check
  • Procedure sequence (assignment)
  • Demand definition for static and dynamic model
  • ANM export
  • Steps using the exported subnetwork in Vissim
  • ANM import
  • Setting up simulations in Vissim using either static routing or dynamic assignment

Line blocking

\Tutorials\Lineblocking\

The tutorial describes methods and tools for working with line blocks in Visum. Starting with a simple example, more complex issues are derived and solved throughout this tutorial. Furthermore, you will learn about:

  • the parts of the data model relevant used for modeling line blocks,
  • the graphical options for displaying results of the line block calculation,
  • the procedure for calculating line blocks and its settings.

Safety - Accident Analysis

\Tutorials\Tutorial Safety\ Example 1 – accident analysis

The module Visum Safety allows investigating accident data in Visum. The example shows the import of accident data as well as first analysis options, which are also possible without a Visum network.

You can find an example in English here: Achieving Road safety with PTV Visum

Safety - Network Accident Analysis

\Tutorials\Tutorial Safety\ Example 2 – network accident analysis

In this example, accident data is assigned to the network to conduct further analyses. These not only look at the pure accident figures but also consider the traffic volume.

Safety - Accident Prediction

\Tutorials\Tutorial Safety\ Example 3 – network accident prediction

Visum Safety enables the prognosis of the occurrence of an accident. This forecast can be included in planning processes to influence the accident figures and to plan in terms of traffic safety.
