German software and consulting company 3264 PTV has launched the latest version of PTV Visum public transport planning software, featuring a modern window design and powerful network display options.

The company says that version 12.5 is more user-friendly, with a new window design that displays all relevant information at a glance.  Users can drag windows to a different position and group them according to their requirements in the main window or extract them from the main window via drag and drop, enabling lists, editors and procedure flow to be shown on different monitors simultaneously.

"When importing data, PTV Visum prepares all data content automatically," says Dr. Johannes Schlaich, director of product management PTV Visum. "Besides nodes and links of the transport network, various attributes such as link types, different transport systems permitted and banned turns are also extracted from this data."
