KARLSRUHE, Germany, Aug 28, 2025 – Traffic engineers and automotive developers can reduce project timelines with a new automation tool. At the ITS World Congress in Atlanta, PTV Group launched PTV Model2Go for PTV Vissim, built with Dynamic Map Platform Co., Ltd (DMP) to bring automated microsimulation models to its traffic simulation software.
Traffic simulation requires digital models of road networks. Manually constructing these networks is a time-intensive task. The PTV Model2Go application automates this process by sourcing its data from DMP’s 3D maps, reducing the project workloads.
Shuichi Yoshimura, CEO & president of DMP, commented. “Since signing the MOU with PTV in January, we’ve worked closely to make our high-precision 3D map data available for traffic simulation, and we are pleased to announce that PTV will serve as our distributor. We are excited about the prospect of our world’s largest 3D data set, covering 26 countries and 1.5 million kilometers, being globally utilized in traffic simulation. We believe this will simplify simulation efforts and contribute to smarter city planning and next-generation vehicle development.”
Christian U. Haas, CEO of Umovity, commented. “PTV Vissim is the world’s leading traffic simulation software, enabling data-driven mobility planning across the globe. By integrating DMP’s high-precision 3D map data, we’re now able to apply this powerful tool easier than ever. This breakthrough opens exciting new possibilities for both the automotive sector and traffic engineering.”
The data-generated networks are available for simulation in both INPX and OpenDRIVE formats and cover international markets including the USA, Canada, the European Union, the UK, Japan, and South Korea.
