Jaguar uses PTV microsimulation tool for C/AV concepts

Jaguar Land Rover is using PTV’s Vissim, a multi-modal microsimulation tool to simulate and test connected and automated vehicle (C/AV) concepts. Vissim can be used for the modelling of multi-modal urban or motorway networks and for testing the design and feasibility of transport infrastructure projects. It can also be used by researchers, vehicle manufacturers, transport planners, traffic engineers and public authorities to help design future transport systems, testing the impact of C/AVs on road network

7998 Jaguar Land Rover is using 3264 PTV’s 3989 Vissim, a multi-modal microsimulation tool to simulate and test connected and automated vehicle (C/AV) concepts.

Vissim can be used for the modelling of multi-modal urban or motorway networks and for testing the design and feasibility of transport infrastructure projects. It can also be used by researchers, vehicle manufacturers, transport planners, traffic engineers and public authorities to help design future transport systems, testing the impact of C/AVs on road network capacity and operational performance.

PTV says the solution includes co-simulation, allowing Jaguar engineers to link the driving behaviours from Vissim with their vehicle dynamic algorithms, comfort and human interaction design, power train assessments and the ability to replicate real-world testing scenarios in a repeatable way.

PTV is now developing interfaces for co-simulation with advanced driver assistance systems, sensor solutions, driver dynamics, powertrain testing and human behaviours.

    The new release of PTV’s transport planning software, PTV Visum 15, is said to set new standards in multimodality and allow even more sustainable transport planning. New functions available in the software include the ability to analyse the demand, quantity and placement of park and ride (P+R) sites, enabling users to evaluate existing and future capacities. To allow users to model cycle and vehicle route-planning, PTV has enhanced the stochastic assignment so that path-level impedance elements can now be r

    Mike Schagrin, ITS Joint Program Office, RITA, and John Harding, NHTSA, describe US progress towards an in-vehicle Intersection Violation Warning system. In 2008, there were 37,261 fatalities on US roadways. Of these, 7,772, some 20.8 per cent of the total, were defined as intersection crashes or intersection-related crashes. Through a multi-agency research initiative led by the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has developed a prototype In
