VISSIM is a microscopic multi-modal traffic flow simulation software. It is developed by PTV Planung Transport Verkehr AG in Karlsruhe, Germany. The name is derived from erkehr In Stdten - SIMulationsmodell (German for raffic in cities - simulation model). VISSIM was started in 1992 and is global market leader today.

Microscopic simulation

icroscopic simulation, sometimes called microsimulation, means that each entity (car, train, person) of reality that is to be simulated is simulated individually, i.e. it is represented by a corresponding entity in the simulation, thereby considering all relevant properties. The same holds for the interactions between the entities. The opposite would be a acroscopic simulation, in which the description of reality is shifted from individuals to veraged variables like flow and density. The corresponding product from the same manufacturer is called VISUM.

Multi-modality

ulti-modal simulation describes the ability to simulate more than one type of traffic. All these types can interact mutually. In VISSIM the following types of traffic can be simulated

Vehicles (cars, busses, and trucks)

Public transport (trams, buses)

Cyclists

Pedestrians

Rikshas

...

Scope of application

The scope of application ranges from various issues of traffic engineering (transport engineering, transportation planning, signal timing), public transport, urban planning over fire protection (evacuation simulation) to 3d visualization (computer animation, architectural animation) for illustrative purpose and communication to the general public.

Scientific foundations

The basic traffic model ruling the movement of vehicles was developed by Rainer Wiedemann in 1974 at Karlsruhe University. It is a car-following model that considers physical and psychological aspects of the drivers.

The model underlying pedestrian dynamics is the Social Force Model by Dirk Helbing et al. from 1995.

Scientific award

PTV AG has founded a bi-annual scientific award for scientific work related to VISSIM and other PTV products. Participation is open for any researcher.
