PTV Planung Transport Verkehr GmbH

Tool Vendor / Service Provider

PTV Group is a leading global software company for traffic planning, simulation, and real-time management. We cover the full range from strategic planning with macroscopic models over detailed microscopic traffic simulation up to real-time traffic management. Our transport models and simulations provide the basis for fact-based decisions about future transportation systems.
With our microscopic traffic simulation PTV Vissim we are world market leader. Clients in over 120 countries trust our solution to give the most accurate representation of real-world traffic in the virtual world to design, dimension and optimize the multimodal traffic infrastructure. Such microscopic traffic simulations are used by our automotive clients as responsive closed-loop test enviroments to develop and validate ADAS/AV functionalities and driving logics or to optimize powertrain components or control logic strategy e.g. with the goal of increased real-world efficiency and range.

With more than 40 years of experience in the fields of mobility, the Germany-based company provides software products based on proprietary algorithms, benefiting more than 2,500 cities and municipalities. Bridgepoint acquired a majority stake in the company in January 2022 in order to further accelerate its growth together with shareholder Porsche Automobil Holding SE. Since 2023 PTV Group and Econolite are united under the brand Umovity.

Functionalities

PTV Vissim provides a multimodal representation of a traffic environment and all relevant modes of transport like cars, trucks, pedestrians, bicycles, buses, trains etc. Based on scientifically proven behaviour models and the traffic rules, all entities in the simulation interact as intelligent agents with each other and the traffic environment to create a realistic traffic flow. This traffic environment can be used as closed-loop test environment for vehicle development. Typical use cases are the development of ADAS functionalities (e.g. virtual test drives or scenario mining) or operating strategies for powertrains. PTV Vissim offers powerful interfaces for script-based automation and for the integration with component models or detailed full vehicle models from other software in co-simulation. It can be integrated with HiL test benches as well. PTV Vissim is also available as Kernel version as headless calculation core for Windows and Linux.
