VISUM Interfaces for data exchange

A lot of data required for applications with VISUM is available in digital form from customers, providers or for free on the Internet. This data can be used to support your planning efforts or for a more clearly representation of your results. In the following years, this trend will be reinforced by the unbroken development of the Internet and the paradigmen shift in data access (open data movement).  In this course you will learn about the interfaces VISUM provides and how to use them. We will also inform you about the terms of use for several data sources.

The course addresses VISUM users who want to learn about the digital data available in order to use them to create, update or refine network models.
