Hardware and software requirements for PTV Vision VISSIM
In addition to the typical specifications of a common PC, these are the main requirements for PTV Vision VISSIM:
Operating systems
- Microsoft® Windows® 7, Vista or XP;
for the 64-bit VISSIM edition a 64-bit operating system is essential - Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0 (language independent installation setup is included in the VISSIM installation package)
Hardware
- Speed: min. 2 GHz (faster computer speed results in faster simulation speed)
- Memory (RAM): depending on the application. A minimum of 1 GB (2 GB for Windows® 7 and Vista) is essential. For large networks containing many cars and/or pedestrians more RAM is needed.
- Hard disk space: depending on the installation settings up to 1 GB
- Hardware lock (dongle) protection: one fully functional USB port
- Graphics card: for 3D Graphics OpenGL®-support is essential.
- Multi-core processors are recommended as VISSIM's multi-thread capability (since VISSIM version 5.10) allows for parallel computing and hence increases simulation speed compared to single-core processors. In addition, it speeds up simulation time if other tasks are to be done during a simulation run.
Data transfer/installation
Having CD/DVD driver and floppy driver will help. Alternatively an USB port can be used, in which case we recommend to notify the organizers. Please make sure that you have administrator rights to install software on your machine. The software can be seamlessly uninstalled after the User Group Meeting.
