Announcing the new Visual Choice
Visual-tm (short for Peter Davidson‘s Visual Transport Modeller) is our transport modelling software. Peter has re-engineered the software and this is the result - powerful and versatile yet so easy to use and so simple to set up your models - all with standard Windows ™. Visual-tm was launched in May 2004 with version 2 in May 2005 and version 3 in May 2006. Version 4 was released on 20th June 2007. Designed for rapid model development, robust data structures and fast implementation which feeds right through to predicting your best value targets - it has all the multi-mode models you need including:
- Trip distribution, mode split, highway and public transport assignment, capacity restraint,
- Integrated model development environment - for rapid model building
- Feed your model through your best value targets for What if...? monitoring and action
- Integrated forecasting environment - iterate through distribution/ mode split and assignment in minutes rather than hours.
- And its fast - very fast
