Modeling Basics and Traffic Impact Studies using Microscopic Traffic Flow Simulation

In our introductory day for network modelling with VISSIM, you will learn the basic functionality of VISSIM. At the end of the day you will be able to independently build small network models and perform initial evaluations. This is the ideal basis for the course held on the next day which relates to traffic studies with VISSIM. On this day you or your staff will learn how to conduct high quality and efficient traffic studies using the microscopic simulation software, VISSIM. The focus of this course is the calibration and evaluation of urban and rural models.

VISSIM beginners as well as traffic engineers from cities and engineering firms that want to work on their VISSIM projects at state of the art level and efficiency.

2 days

Day 1:

• Objectives and tasks of microscopic simulations
• Modelling of the transport supply side on the open road and at intersections (priority rules and signal control)
• Modelling of the traffic demand with input flows and routes
• Overview of public transport line modelling

Day 2:

• Tasks involved in traffic studies with microscopic simulation
• Required input data for supply and demand modelling
• What empirical data can be used for calibration?
• Which VISSIM parameters are best suited for calibration?
• Which evaluations are useful and can be performed efficiently?
