Importing accident data from an Excel sheet into PTV Visum typically involves several steps. Here's a general outline of the process:

Prepare Your Excel Sheet:

Ensure that your accident data is well-organized in your Excel sheet. Create columns for attributes such as date, time, location, type of accident, severity, and any other relevant information. Make sure the data is in a structured format.

Save the Excel Sheet:

Save your Excel sheet with a clear and memorable name in a location that you can easily access.

Open PTV Visum:

Launch PTV Visum and open the project where you want to import the accident data.

Access the Accident Data Import Tool:

In PTV Visum, go to the "Tools" menu, and look for an option related to accident data import. The exact menu option may vary depending on the version of Visum you are using.

Select Your Excel Sheet:

Use the import tool to select the Excel sheet where your accident data is stored.

Map Data Fields:

PTV Visum will typically prompt you to map the data fields from your Excel sheet to the corresponding fields in the Visum database. This step involves matching columns from your Excel sheet to attributes in PTV Visum.
