The new releases of 3264 PTV’s Visum 16, Vissim 9 and Viswalk 9 software solution for macroscopic traffic modelling and microscopic traffic and pedestrian simulation come with several new features and functions.

Visum 16 includes SBA, a simulation-based dynamic assignment which enables individual vehicles and their interactions to be simulated and both congestion effects and delays over time to be more realistically represented. It also comes with a 3D network view, allowing users to create visualisations and videos with prisms, bars, customisable colour schemes and individual storyboards.

Vissim 9 includes additions to scenario management, allowing users to compare results of different planning or design scenarios. It also provides level of service results for nodes, an inbuilt matrix editor for simpler handling of matrices, dynamic assignment and convergence enhancements and improvements to visualisation options.

With PTV Viswalk 9, users can now simulate pedestrian flows within multi-storey buildings by modelling not only stairs but also elevators. Modellers may simulate single or several elevator groups.

    December 5, 2017
    Plagued by intolerable congestion but denied government funding for its solution, tiny Halton Borough Council relentlessly pursued its vision and achieved what many believed impossible. Halton may be a small local authority in north west England, but it had a big traffic problem. However, as the road, or more particularly the bridge, involved was not deemed a strategic route, central government would not commission or even fund a solution - a problem that many other local authorities will recognise.
