Steps For Learning PTV Vissim
Steps For Learning PTV Vissim
**Getting Started:**
4. **Define Network:**
5. **Define Vehicles:**
- Define different vehicle types, specifying their properties like length, width, and acceleration
characteristics.
- Define traffic demand by specifying origin-destination pairs and the number of vehicles per time
interval.
7. **Traffic Control:**
- Implement traffic control devices such as traffic signals, stop signs, and yield signs.
- Set simulation parameters, such as simulation time, time steps, and simulation resolution.
- Choose simulation options, such as dynamic route assignment or driver behavior models.
9. **Run Simulation:**
- Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) like travel time, delays, and queue lengths.
- Identify areas of congestion, evaluate intersection efficiency, and assess the overall performance
of the transportation system.
- Validate the model by comparing simulated results with observed or collected data.
13. **Documentation:**
- Document your model, assumptions, and key parameters for future reference.
Remember that this is a general guide, and specific tasks and features may vary based on the version
of PTV Vissim you are using. It's recommended to refer to the software documentation or user
manual for detailed and version-specific instructions.
