" We create groundbreaking concepts worldwide: traffic and transportation planning designed for both computer simulations and realistic applications. "
Dr.-Ing. Thomas Schwerdtfeger, PTV AG Board of Directors
Future-oriented transportation planning and traffic engineering encompasses intelligent traffic infrastructure planning, environmental protection and careful budgeting. The Traffic business field focuses on the development and implementation of innovative concepts for smooth traffic flow. Its particular strength lies in the interaction of traffic analysis, forecast and simulation. Software and consulting support the processes in private and public transport ranging from planning and analysis to optimisation and control.
Leading in the field of transportation planning, traffic telematics and traffic management, the Traffic business field offers a wide range of services: first general and economic feasibility studies, expert reports and detailed road infrastructure planning as well as the implementation of control components. Apart from transportation planning and traffic engineering services, Traffic also offers engineering services for road infrastructure planning and design in compliance with the HOAI (Fee Structure for Architects and Engineers). Transportation consultants focus on people and technology to serve the transportation needs of a highly mobile population.
PTV Vision, the software suite for transportation planning and traffic engineering, covers an extensive scope of applications: VISSIM, for instance, has become the leading software for traffic simulation worldwide. More than 1,500 clients in over 75 countries on 5 continents rely on the solutions made in Karlsruhe/Germany, especially designed for traffic network planning and traffic flow optimisations. As a result, the large and diverse group of users ranges from traffic planners to decision-makers in political institutions, engineering offices as well as traffic and railway companies, etc.
