Calculating demand with ABM Nested Demand

If you want to calculate demand using the ABM Nested Demand model, proceed as follows:

1. Import synthetic population data as a base (PopulationSim import).

2. Calculate long-term location choices using the ABM long-term location choices procedure(Calculating ABM long-term location choices).

3. Calculate demand using the ABM Nested Demand procedure (Calculate ABM Nested Demand).

4. View the results, for example in the Trips list or as an activity profile (Fundamentals: Activity profiles).

Notes: The ABM Nested Demand and ABM long-term location choices procedures are only available if you have activated the ABM Nested Demand add-on module (Enabling or disabling add-ons).

In the directory C:\Users\Public\Documents\PTV Vision\PTV Visum 2025/Examples, you can find examples of use on this topic. The example ABM Nested Demand describes the calculation of disaggregated demand using the procedures ABM Nested Demand, ABM long-term location choices, and Import of synthetic population data. The workflow for setting up an ABM is also explained.
