Register now for information about the Fourth Annual Forum.
At the 3rd annual event, some of transport's most highly-regarded speakers stimulated the audience with their views on how to deal with uncertainty in model applications.
Following a development announcement in late September TRL Software are excited to say that TRANSYT VISSIM* Link Software is now shipping!
Recently demonstrated at PTVs User Group conference in Germany, and following a successful beta roll out to some hardcore TRANSYT13 users, TRL have completed work on the first release of this innovative product.
Hot on the heels of TRANSYT 13, released in May this year, TRLs experts have developed this link to automate the manual process by importing VISSIM data into TRANSYT 13. It then uses the TRANSYT signal optimiser in conjunction with the VISSIM model to produce an optimum set of signal timings.
TRANSYT includes two sophisticated traffic models: the Platoon Dispersal Model (PDM) and Cell Transmission Model (CTM). These models are quick to set up and fast to run, making it easy to set up a TRANSYT network from scratch, optimise signals and obtain good results very rapidly. Micro-simulations offer a way to model highly complex networks and other scenarios with a high degree of realism. However, they usually rely on the user to input their own timings, which can be a time consuming and difficult process.
TRANSYT-VISSIM Link has been developed to help connect the two together.
Harry Flexman from RPS Group beta-tested the software and commented; "Overall I found the TRANSYT-VISSIM link easy to use and the user guide helpful when running things for the first time. . .this is a very powerful and useful tool and I look forward to using the commercial release of it on my next VISSIM project!"
*VISSIM is a product of PTV AG
