PTV Visum 2024 supports elevation data import for accurate modeling of active modes like bicycles.

Some of the newest product highlights within the suite contain:

Highlights of the PTV Visum 2024 Update

One of the major release highlights in Visum 2024 is its integrated Activity-Based Modelling (ABM) calculation. This version offers improved precision and stability compared to other software. Furthermore, it boasts a 100x speed boost in public transport assignments. The software also supports elevation data import for accurate modeling of active modes like bicycles.

PTV Vissim, Viswalk, and Econolite Integration

In the area of microscopic traffic simulation, Vissim and Viswalk have received significant speed increases. Notably, engineers extensively reworked the pedestrian simulation routines in Viswalk. This introduces an efficient activity stack for enhanced parallelization.

Vissim 2024 brings exciting features, such as the ability to display lane markings in the 2D and 3D editors. Additionally, the industry-leading EOS Controller from Econolite now seamlessly integrates into PTV Vissim. This empowers users to replicate controller logic within simulations effortlessly.

PTV Vistro and Centracs Integration

As a result of the Umovity union, Vistro 2024 now integrates with Centracs, Econolite’s advanced traffic management system. This fosters a unified approach by bridging signal timing analysis with traffic impact studies. Other features include electric vehicle impact calculations and the integration of Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPI).

PTV Vistro 2024 provides seamless integration with Econolite’s Centracs.

Live Presentation of the Tech Update

Christian U. Haas, CEO of Econolite and PTV Group, said: “With our Mobility Tech Suite, we offer a holistic approach to orchestrating the mobility value chain. This fosters unique benefits through mutual data enrichment and synergies across our solutions.”
