PTV VISUM ADVANCED PTV VISUM - SAFETY BSM, NSM and RIA with PTV Visum Safety The Safety module adds a road safety dimension to your traffic model. Using the module, you will be able to import and analyze accident data. One of its functions is filtering data and providing a clear overview of this on the transport network. Thanks to the heat-map, accident black spots are available at a glance and are displayed in line with the criteria you have chosen to set. Black spots can be generated and stored manually or automatically for subsequent analysis (BSM). With the reporting function, you receive detailed information about each and every accident. Group evaluation enables you to identify similarities between accidents and draw conclusions for traffic planning purposes. With Safety, crash data can be blended with traffic volumes from traffic counts or a Visum transport model. Then you can assess the most critical points in the network according to their traffic significance, identifying these using colored route markers and interactive tables and creating a priority ranking based on the safety potential (NSM). Since simple crash prediction models for different road and intersection types are incorporated into PTV Visum Safety it allows a risk assessment of existing and future Infrastructure (RIA). This course is designed for transportation engineers and traffic safety experts who are responsible for analyzing accident data, BSM, NSM and RIA.
