PTV VISSIM v5.3

Description

VISSIM PEDESTRIAN MODELING Pedestrian travel creates complex interactions. The VISSIM pedestrian simulation was designed to be flexible enough to handle complex situation, to make VISSIM suitable for a broad range of applications. Scope of Application Traffic engineering and ► transportation planning The influence that pedestrians have on vehicular traffic – particularly in special situations like complex inter- sections – can be realistically fore- casted. City planning ► In modern city planning, both citi- zens and planners are increasingly aware of the significance of pedes- trians. VISSIM meets the needs for a planning tool for creating a pedes- trian-friendly city. Evacuation ► Fire safety engineers have different needs than traffic engineers. The most obvious is multi-story mod- eling, which is included in VISSIM. Animation ► Communicating complex building or city construction plans to a non-pro- fessional public is important if the public is meant to actively take part in the discussion about development. In addition to assisting the process of engineering, planning and construct- ing, VISSIM also aims to help experts communicate their ideas and work to others.
