Microsimulation Modelling
Microsimulation transport and pedestrian modelling involves a detailed approach to transport planning that simulates individual movements. This allows us to create realistic scenarios and predict the impact of proposed developments on traffic flow and pedestrian dynamics
Our team of highly skilled modellers uses advanced mathematical models created in PTV VISSIM & VisWALK to ensure accuracy and realism in our simulations. We are involved in setting national best practice standards and are one of the UK’s only independent, PTV certified providers of software training. Choosing to work with Modelling Group means engaging with a leader in microsimulation, dedicated to delivering exceptional results and fostering long-term relationships with our clients. We are not just a service provider; we are innovators and partners, committed to shaping the future of transport and pedestrian network planning.
Deterministic Modelling
At Modelling Group, we also have a strong focus on deterministic modelling, a simpler and faster approach to transport planning. This type of modelling is particularly useful when it comes to optimising traffic signal timings for future year scenarios. By predicting the flow of traffic and adjusting signal timings accordingly, we can help to improve traffic efficiency and reduce congestion.
We utilise industry-leading software such as TRL Junctions 10 and JCT LinSig for our deterministic modelling projects. These tools allow us to accurately model junctions and signalised intersections, providing valuable insights that can inform traffic management strategies. Our expertise in deterministic modelling, combined with our commitment to using the best tools available, enables us to deliver effective and efficient solutions for our clients. With Modelling Group, you’re choosing a partner who understands the nuances of transport planning and is dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes.
Scheme Visualisation
At Modelling Group, we take pride in our ability to create high-quality scheme visualisations. These are not mere static images, but dynamic, rendered 3D scenarios that are directly linked to and powered by our microsimulation transport and pedestrian models. This integration allows us to bring our models to life, providing a visually engaging and intuitive way to understand the data.
These visualisations serve as powerful tools for public consultation events and key stakeholder engagement. They allow non-technical audiences to grasp the implications of proposed developments, fostering understanding and facilitating dialogue. By presenting our findings in a visually compelling format, we can effectively communicate complex transport dynamics and proposed solutions. With Modelling Group, you’re choosing a partner who is not only an expert in transport modelling but also excels in conveying these insights in a clear and engaging manner.
Additional services
Strategic Tactical Modelling
At Modelling Group, we also offer expertise in macrosimulation. This strategic or tactical modelling approach allows us to work on a grand scale, often encompassing entire cities or regions. Our team is proficient in using industry-leading software such as PTV VISUM, SATURN, and EMME for these large-scale projects.
Macrosimulation allows us to analyse and predict traffic patterns and pedestrian movements across extensive areas, providing valuable insights for urban planning and infrastructure development. This type of modelling is particularly useful for assessing the impact of large-scale developments or policy changes on transport systems. With our macrosimulation services, clients can make informed decisions that take into account the broader transport network. At Modelling Group, we are committed to providing comprehensive, large-scale modelling solutions that meet the strategic needs of our clients.
