2011-5-25| VISUM-team wins map contest
DVRPC won first place in the map contest at the GIS-T symposium, with a map titled "Accessibility for Alternative Locations Derived from Google Transit Feeds". The map shows four transit isochrones that were created in VISUM, then combined and post-processed in Adobe Illustrator. The isochrones are based on DVRPC’s new regional travel forecasting model “TIM 2.0”.
2011-5-25| New: VISSIM Driving Simulator Interface
Driving simulators are used in experiments to understand drivers' behavior in various situations and under different conditions.
For many investigations it is essential that the vehicles that surround the actual driver behave realistically. Our latest driving simulator Interface allows connecting VISSIM with a driving simulator in order to provide the most realistic behavior of the vehicles that surround the driver.
2011-5-02| New VISSIM Add-on for the Quality Analysis of TLC
MAT.CrossCheck is a test tool for the quality analysis of traffic light control. It extends the VISSIM functionality towards automatic generation, implementation and statistical evaluation of simulation runs, thus enabling a systematic, comprehensive and convenient quality analysis of traffic light control already in the planning phase.
2011-4-28| New add-ins for smooth Excel & VISUM workflow
Experienced users of Excel and VISUM often combine the strengths of the two products by automating VISUM from Excel VBA or performing matrix manipulations in Excel instead of within VISUM. These users will value two new add-ins, which specifically support this combination of programs.
2011-4-25| Four-stage Model revamped in VISUM
More and more of our clients are using VISUM to build full demand models instead of just using it for the assignment stage. Following suggestions from these projects, we are revising the four-stage demand model within VISUM to bring it in line with the current state of practice.
2011-4-20| Windows 2000 and VISUM
In mid-April 2011 Microsoft released a security patch for Windows which conflicts with many existing software packages. If users apply the patch, VISUM will no longer run under Windows 2000. Our own development computers are affected in the same way. We will do our best to ensure that VISUM 11.5 will continue to run under Windows 2000.
2011-4-15| Highlights of the new Matrix Editor in VISUM 11.5
One of the major usability improvements introduced with VISUM 11.5 is the new Matrix Editor. The matrices of the model are now always ready to hand through the matrix explorer tab in the network overview window, which serves as the entry point for matrix management and analysis operations.
2011-01-26| A qualitative quantum leap for transportation models
Our recent cooperation with TomTom sets a new level of quality standard in transportation modelling: PTV will be using TomTom's unique historical travel data to provide detailed travel time information for the entire road network. This means that transportation modellers can now easily access data on traffic speed and thus on traffic quality for a specific route and day using PTV software.
