Predicting Future Traffic Flow With Cutting-Edge Technology

Major construction at any airport requires scenario planning. Before plans are drawn up, an airport must anticipate future expansion and operations, with precise calculations on every detail, including local traffic flow throught the landside roadways and frontages.

Luckily, there’s a tool for that. Traffic microsimulation uses animation to model the behavior of individual vehicles on a specific road network, allowing engineers to predict how construction will impact traffic flow. Recently, the PVT Vissim technology has proved its worth on a new terminal project at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Download our project profile to see for yourself.
