This half-day version of our PTV Vissim freeway operations training explores static demand-based freeway facilities such as freeway facility geometry, driver behavior calibration, and demos on modeling ramp meters and managed lanes. By the end of the course participants should feel confident modeling basic freeway segments in microsimulation using PTV Vissim software.
