What is VISSIM?
VISSIM is a microscopic, time step, and behavior based traffic simulation computer program
VISSIM models urban traffic and public transit operations
VISSIM can analyze traffic (cars, trucks, pedestrians) and transit (buses, trains, trams) operations under constraints such as lane configuration, traffic composition, traffic signals, transit stops, etc.
