Client:
Sarasota County, Florida
Background:
VISSIM is a unique traffic software that has the ability to provide
true three-dimensional simulation of multi-modal travel including
vehicles, heavy vehicles, bus transit, light-rail, pedestrians, and
bicycles. Advanced traffic control characteristics including
transit-signal priority, railroad preemption, network coordination,
roundabouts, merge/weave maneuvering, and intelligent
transportation systems (ITS) can also be modeled. The software
allows for the evaluation of numerous measures of effectiveness
(MOEs) including queue, delay, stops, greenhouse gas emissions,
fuel consumption, etc. Hands-on training was provided by Dr.Collins
to County employees using VISSIM software, detailed technical
training modules, and real world examples.
