The results of this research show improvement onthe quality of bicycle highways with proposedvariation. Bicycle delay time and number of stopsreduced up to 21% in both direction of major stream.Similarly, travel time also reduced up to 6%. So, it isclearly indicated that widening bicycle lane made apositive impact on bicycle traffic condition. At theend, the result from comparison analysis of bothsimulation tools showed a statistically significantdifferent outcome under 95% confidence interval.

Comparing two different traffic simulation environments for simulating urban bicycle highway traffic – the case of SUMO and PTV VISSIM

In this thesis, the present state of the study areadesigned in PTV VISSIM for analyzing the proposedimprovement. Two different variation of bicyclehighway considered in this analysis by wideningcycle lane width two times and analyze the results.Afterward, attempt for comparison two simulationtools have taken. Simulation model of the study areain SUMO already present from previous study andprovided by the chair of traffic engineering control(TUM). So, simulation model of the study area inVISSIM was made based SUMO network to makeboth model consistent each other. Then, comparisonanalysis carried out based network editability andtwo measure of effectiveness such as vehicle waitingtime and number of stops. Both simulation was donebased on evening peak hour scenario by focusingmainly major stream flow.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effectof improving bicycle infrastructure design bywidening the width of bicycle lane in Munich(Leopoldstrasse- Ludwigstrasse) as well as make acomparison between two widely popularmicroscopic traffic flow simulation environments-the case of SUMO and PTV VISSIM.
