Equity in mobility

PTV software considers the mobility needs of all citizens, across all modes, allowing you to test different scenarios and create better transportation infrastructure.

Improve connectivity between suburban and urban areas 

PTV software gives you clarity on the mobility situation in your region - and helps you choose the most effective solutions for it. Using our software, you are able to model an unlimited variety of urban and mobility patterns of metropolitan regions worldwide. Whether understanding the status quo, planning improvements to private and public transport, or encouraging active mobility, PTV has the right planning tools for you.

Visualization of a traffic demand forecast in PTV Visum software. PTV Visum is a truly multi-modal transport model suite. It includes assessments for conventional private and public transport as well as for the new mobility sector.
PTV Visum models and assesses all transport modes. Deriving the modal split on each relation leads to a reliable demand forecast for your urban traffic scenarios.
A PTV Vissim simulation of a future traffic scenario with self-driving pods. You get insight into the change in capacity of such intersection, and into the optimal traffic lights signalization scheme.
Simulating delivery robots mingling among pedestrians, with PTV Vissim software. Delivery robots may moderate the upswell in large delivery vehicles, and simulating them provides insights such as: Will they interrupt pedestrians and walkability? How do they have to be programmed to avoid that?

Understand future demand & prepare for every scenario

Provide everyone in your city or region with the best mobility options - today and in the future. PTV software analyzes the current traffic situation, and forecasts and measures the effects of infrastructure, services, and policies. Precise supply and demand models enable you to assess different strategies and multiple “what-if” scenarios for different modes of transport, such as private, public, shared and even autonomous. The software will provide answers to questions such as: What future demand is likely under certain assumptions? Who chooses which modes of transport? And where will bottlenecks be created? Plus, with PTV Vissim you can identify bottlenecks, by simulating possible future demands and checking if the transportation network is prepared for them.

Promote reliable and effective public transport

From investing in new lines or stations to managing schedules, PTV software allows you to develop economically feasible, demand and service-oriented transport services. Our technology covers all strategic processes of transport planning, so you can take into account the needs of all mobility users in a city or region. Use PTV software to create a network with supply and demand data; model entire PT network with data from various sources; analyze passenger behavior and schedule performance; plan prioritization of PT vehicles to increase reliability; and simulate PT stops and interchanges.

Engage citizens in planning processes

Citizens and decision-makers love to get clear information about traffic projects. That’s why users of PTV Vissim and PTV Viswalk can easily present and share their projects in 2D and 3D, using speedy storyboarding features and modern video codecs.

PTV Vissim, the microscopic traffic simulation software, realistically represents all traffic modes and their interaction. Based on the simulation results such as travel times, vehicles counts, queues, delay/waiting times optimization actions can be recommended and tested.

Plan cycling networks that actually serve citizens

PTV empowers cities which promote cycling. Our software PTV Vissim and PTV Visum help planners build and integrate bike networks that reflect existing and future demand. It takes into account the uniqueness of cycling demand, including flexible route choices, and reflects the role they play in daily activity chains.

Bicycle route choice is not only based on distance. PTV Visum model concept allows depicting the different user perceptions of bicycle infrastructure. A realistic bicycle assignment leads to valid forecasts.
Simulation of multi-modal urban traffic, in PTV Vissim software. The simulation helps to reduce the competition for road space between bicycle, busses, and cars, and better plan public transport stops along bicycle lanes.
Isochrone calculations within PTV Visum software depicts the accessibility level of different modes for different mobility users.

Plan mobility for all citizens, including the most vulnerable

With PTV software, your planning process considers all demographic groups and their specific mobility needs. PTV software makes transparent the resulting impact of all different mobility users of a certain type of infrastructure. Whether developing a master plan with an inclusive perspective, or deciding about far-reaching infrastructure investments - PTV has you covered. Use it to model complex trip chains and estimate and evaluate the benefits of all transport users, so you can deliver real improvements to all constituents.
