OVERVIEW OF SIMULATION MODELING WITH VISSIM
Some previous applications of VISSIM includes:
Feasibility and traffic impact studies
Easy comparison of design alternative (stop sign and signalised controlled intersection,
roundabouts, grade separated interchanges, etc)
Capacity and operations analyses of complex station (rail and bus systems)
Evaluation and optimisation of traffic operations (coordinated and actuated traffic
signals)
Evaluation and fine tuning of signal control logic using VAP and built in signal control
packages such as SCATS, SCOOT
Pedestrian flows in streets and buildings allow for a wide range of new applications
The VISSIM package internally consists of two parts

Traffic simulator
Microscopic traffic flow simulation model; including car following and lane change logic
Signal state generator
Signal control software
Taking detector information from traffic simulator (time step basis down to 1/10 of a sec)
Determines the signal state for the next time step and returns this to the traffic simulator

OVERVIEW OF SIMULATION MODELING WITH VISSIM
What is the maximum network size that VISSIM can handle?

There is no built-in limit to the network size that VISSIM can handle
Maximum network size is only limited by computer resources
Apart of hardware, the simulation speed mainly depends on the number vehicles
simultaneously simulated in the network, number of signal controls, and number
of possible paths (when dynamic assignment is used)
What are typical times to create a VISSIM network?

The geometric coding can be finished within few hours for the simple 4-leg junctions
Coding an existing signal control depends heavily on the on the control logic
What is general process for developing a VISSIM model?

There is 5 steps to developing a VISSIM model, i.e.:
a) Identification of model scope (geographic and temporal)
b) Data collection and preparation
c) Base model development (network coding)
d) Error Checking
e) Model calibration and validation
DATA REQUIREMENTS
GEOMETRIC DATA
Roadway segments length, width, gradient and number of lanes
Intersection length, width, gradient and number of lanes include lane designations and the
storage length of designated turn pocket.
Field observations are required to determine unusual network geometry and driving behavior
TRAFFIC DATA
Speed changes, intersection control device (e.g. stop, yield and signal head), locations and signal-
timing plans
The location where vehicles modify their desired speeds are also required. Speed changes in
VISSIM can be temporary or permanent.
Speed in VISSIM is defined as a distribution rather than a fixed value; its an important parameter
that has a significant influence on roadway capacity and achievable travel speeds.
Link entry volumes can be defined for different time period in terms of vehicles per hours if time
period is different from one hour.
VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS
Vehicle compositions and dimensions include maximum acceleration and maximum deceleration
Default setting passenger car, single-unit truck, trailer truck, single-unit bus and articulated bus
