PTV Vissim -Freeway Active Traffic Management (TR-T0214)

Short Description

This half-day PTV Vissim freeway training course explores configuring freeway facilities such as hard and soft-barrier separated managed lanes, restricted access lanes for HOV or Transit, driver behavior calibration, as well as how to implement active traffic management strategies. By the end of the course participants should feel confident modeling static and time-dependent toll lanes, ramp meters, speed harmonization and hard-shoulder facilities using PTV Vissim software.

Course Level

Advanced

Target Group
