VISSIM Training
VISSIM
VISSIM is a powerful traffic simulation tool which supports decisions relative to traffic operations, transit operations, planning, ITS decision making, and traffic impact assessment. Transportation and traffic engineers, planners and system operators are encouraged to attend.
The VISSIM Training Course
The VISSIM Basic Course is designed to provide the user with the necessary training to effectively use VISSIM. This basic course is intended for individuals with varying levels of experience using VISSIM, from beginner to intermediate. The first part of the course will explain the advantages of using traffic simulation and illustrate possible applications. Materials are arranged to guide the user in building VISSIM networks, representing traffic characteristics, modeling traffic control features, running the model, interpreting results, and using advanced network features. The course incorporates case studies and class problems to maximize the learning experience.
Instructors
The VISSIM Basic Course will be taught by a team from the Advanced Traffic Analysis Center at North Dakota State University. The ATAC team has been working over the past three years on the application of advanced models to support transportation decisions. The team has experience in developing and evaluating traffic simulation networks and illustrating how these tools could greatly enhance decision making. Over the past couple of years, ATAC staff have become experienced in using VISSIM for various applications.
Continuing Education Units
NDSU's Division of Continuing Education will award participants 1.7 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for attending the VISSIM Basic Course.
