PTV Optima is real-time traffic management software for multimodal networks. It fuses detector, FCD, ANPR and public-transport data into validated network models, then forecasts network conditions and KPIs ahead of time. Operators get configurable dashboards, alerts, and automated workflows; they can test what-if scenarios and trigger actions (e.g., signal plans) to keep traffic stable without adding new roads. It integrates with PTV Visum/PTV Vissim and existing center systems; modules allow fast, scalable deployment. It gives operators network-wide visibility including on non-monitored roads and turns live data into short-term forecasts so they can act before congestion builds. It reduces the impact of incidents, supports rapid what-if testing, and lets teams automate responses via configurable dashboards, alerts, and triggers. Its open interfaces and integration with PTV Visum/PTV Vissim enable fast, scalable deployment without costly infrastructure changes. PTV Optima is designed for city and regional road authorities, traffic control centers, and public-transport operators that need real-time decision support across multimodal networks. Its key use cases are: 1. Congestion and incident management 2. Road closures & construction planning 3. “What-if” scenario evaluation & decision support 4. Adaptive signal control & ramp metering 5. Public-transport operations & passenger information 6. Journey planning with intermodal options
