Abstract After two decades of academic research the microscopic, behavior-based multi-purpose traffic flow simulator VISSIM had been introduced in 1994 to analyze and optimize traffic flows. It offers a wide variety of urban and highway applications, integrating public and private transportation. A large part of this chapter is devoted to modeling principles of VISSIM, core traffic flow models consisting of longitudinal and lateral movements of vehicles on multilane streets, a conflict resolution model at areas with overlapping trajectories, dynamic assignment and the social force model applied to pedestrians. Techniques to calibrate the core traffic flow models are discussed briefly.
