PTV Group, part of the global brand Umovity, has announced the launch of an industry-first cloud-based collaborative modeling platform for mobility planning, design, and optimization.
Called the PTV Hub, this SaaS solution connects PTV’s desktop software with web-based functionalities, enhancing productivity, accessibility, and team collaboration, the firm noted.
PTV Hub serves as a central hub to organize projects, manage licenses and compute models in the cloud. It enables users to upload and download models from desktop software to cloud storage, streamlining workflows.
PTV Hub’s Models app allows users to track and manage models, scenarios, revisions, and results, making them easily accessible to both internal and external teams. With cloud-based computing, resource-intensive tasks can run concurrently, freeing up desktop licenses and improving efficiency.
Meanwhile, the platform’s Dashboard app provides a virtual environment for project insights and analytics. Customizable dashboards turn data into actionable insights, enabling users to visualize results, compare models, and present simulations with personalized maps, charts, and animations.
PTV Hub also features a License app that simplifies license management, delivery, and updates. System administrators can easily view license statuses, manage subscriptions, and control user access through an intuitive interface.
Additionally, a Workspace app is in development, which will further enhance productivity by offering a structured, collaborative environment for transport modeling project management.
“The launch of PTV Hub marks a significant milestone for us,” said Christian U Haas, CEO of PTV Group. “It’s the first true cloud-based collaborative modeling platform in the market, and a key component of our Dynamic Multimodal Network Management concept – a revolutionary system for cities to plan, manage, and operate multimodal transportation networks.
“Our vision is to empower cities to seamlessly integrate public transit, walking, cycling, shared mobility services, and, in the future, connected and autonomous vehicles,” he added.
PTV Hub is available for the latest versions of PTV Visum, PTV Vissim, PTV Vistro, and PTV Viswalk, the company noted.
