- Open PTV Vissim.

- Create a new project or open an existing one.

**Define Network:**

- Build the road network by defining lanes, intersections, and connections.

- Specify road geometries, such as curves and slopes.

**Define Vehicles:**

- Define different vehicle types, specifying their properties like length, width, and acceleration
characteristics.

- Set up a fleet of vehicles if needed.

**Define Traffic Demand:**

- Define traffic demand by specifying origin-destination pairs and the number of vehicles per time
interval.

- Use demand profiles to model variations in traffic throughout the simulation.

**Traffic Control:**

- Implement traffic control devices such as traffic signals, stop signs, and yield signs.

- Adjust signal timings and phases as needed.

**Define Simulation Settings:**

- Set simulation parameters, such as simulation time, time steps, and simulation resolution.

- Choose simulation options, such as dynamic route assignment or driver behavior models.

**Run Simulation:**

- Execute the simulation to observe traffic flow and behavior.

- Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) like travel time, delays, and queue lengths.

**Analyze Results:**

- Review simulation results, including graphical outputs and statistical reports.

- Identify areas of congestion, evaluate intersection efficiency, and assess the overall performance
of the transportation system.
11. **Calibration and Validation:**

- Calibrate the model to match real-world conditions by adjusting parameters.

- Validate the model by comparing simulated results with observed or collected data.

12. **Scenario Analysis:**

- Conduct scenario analyses by modifying network configurations, traffic demand, or control

strategies.

- Evaluate the impact of changes on system performance.

13. **Documentation:**

- Document your model, assumptions, and key parameters for future reference.

- Create reports summarizing simulation results and findings.

Remember that this is a general guide, and specific tasks and features may vary based on the version
of PTV Vissim you are using. It's recommended to refer to the software documentation or user
manual for detailed and version-specific instructions.
