VISSIM Tutorial

This the VISSIM Tutorial session for the Traffic Flow course at university of Waterloo.
In this sessionI gave general information and basic instruction on how users can draw links, network elements and signalized intersections

Great video. This introduction helps me very much since I am writing my diploma thesis with Vissim. Thumbs up

[samuelgomes]

Thanks a lot. Now I got some idea how to work with VISSIM.

[mustafaelsayed]

thank you for this its very helpful we need more tutorials in vissim ind traffic assessment in general

Great work Amir! Could you please tell if there is any way to get queue length on each lane of a link? For eg. if a link has three lanes, can I get queue on each lane separately (I couldn't find any option to place lane wise queue counter)? Also, if I place queue counter (A) on the connector of a lane, can "A" calculate the queue of the lane connected to connector (The simulation is throwing some number but I am not sure if it is correct)?

Thank you sir for this great video. I'm using VISSIM to estimate travel time on some links (more than 100 links) as a part of my thesis. I have added the vehicle inputs for the links. Can I run the simulation for several demand levels (e.g. 85%, 95%, or 105% of the original volume) without adjusting the vehicle input for each link ?

Before the using zoom first click the link :) İs there any way to create a chart of evaluation results in a dynamic way ? I dont wanna use excel.

Hello sir, when you open your signal controller, you have a screen with VISSIG, where there is more option. When I do it, I get a screen with fixed time. How do i get the VISSIG screen ?

How can I export an evaluation report by vissim? How can I evaluate the LOS, delay, and v/c ratio for the entire intersection?

Hello, I'm currentyly using Vissim 7, the full version for investigation purposes. So I was wondering if it would be possible to contact you someway (social media, etc) to ask some questions and doubts that might arise from the use of thissoftware, and if it were possible for you to share any kind of manual or instructions on Vissim. Thank you, and great video :D it's helped so much

[SimplyWhatever]

What volume do you add? for the hour with the highest volume?

[neamengetaway]

Hello guys, i want to ask you one question me and my friends are working on adaptive signal control system using ptv vissim and now he are facing with the problem that student versions haven't use com interface sk that we can't integrate our Python script with the software anyone who support us may be by selling or giving access for one week ? This is urgent to pass our thesis evaluation, thank you

[manzoorelahi]

Dear sir hope you are fine.It is requested to guide me how to model BRT(public transpor) in vissim.
Thanks

[garymatovu]

Great video... I am currently undertaking a study requiring obtaining the lane group capacity of a signalized intersection. Could you please advise me on how to go about doing this?

[victorhugomastropietrorome]

Good morning dear Amir Zarinbal

It's Victor Mastropietro, I write from Venezuela, and I am working on my thesis, which consists on the evaluation of the BRT transportation system built in Puerto Ordaz. I am doing a simulation with VISSIM for the BRT, I need an exclusive lane for the buses, but I have not succeeded. Could you help me establish an exclusive BRT lane? Thank you very much in advance, I hope your prompt reply ...


Best regards...

Hi Amir! Great video sir, i went from to nothing to at least something. I am currently on my thesis to evaluate a toll plaza, and i am planning to use vissim student version 8.00. Can i do it or maybe some of the features are not included for student? I am struggling since there is no tutorial to simulate the toll plaza using vissim...

[omidirani]

Hello Amir
Can you refer me any manual for designing rampmetering ?

[allensoong]

Alright man, can I ask you a question that why I cannot load a SketchUp file into Vissim 9.0 version. Every time I load SketchUp file into Vissim 9.0 version, there will be a mention that the 3D model "file name" contains no valid geometry and thus cannot be loaded. I'll appreciate that you can give me some clues, thanks man

[sazzatahammadhimel]

Hello, sir. How can I find speed, flow and vehicle density to evaluate the level of service?

[linktank]

Why the vissim didnt have Chinese version??we want learn and use it, but it very unconvenient.

[АлексейМогилевский-чм]

Sir, please tell me, how did you downloaded the map of the world in the VISSIM?
