Fast import & export of service data

All services can be displayed and edited in the public transport network and timetable editor.
A robust set of assignment algorithms
PTV Visum offers a robust set of assignment algorithms to simulate passenger’s behaviour, including headway-based and timetable-based procedures. Impacts of the fare model and capacity restraints can be taken into account in both approaches.
