Assigning a color to ramps and stairs based on aggregated parameters (LOS)

During a simulation, you can visualize and classify traffic-related parameters of pedestrians on ramps and stairs based on different LOS schemes (Using LOS schemes for showing aggregated pedestrian values). Thus you can easily distinguish between different traffic parameters at different positions in the network during simulation, for example, to quickly locate a hotspot in a large network.

You can make similar settings for pedestrians in areas and vehicles on links (Assigning a color to areas based on aggregated parameters (LOS)), (Assigning a color to links based on aggregated parameters).

You can simultaneously show the pedestrians in color. This is based on the attributes of the pedestrians (Assigning a color to pedestrians based on an attribute).

1.  Before starting a simulation, make the following settings:

2.  From the Evaluation menu, choose Configuration > Result Attributes tab > Areas & ramps.

3.   Select Collect data.

4.  Set the parameters as required.

5.  Confirm with OK.

6.  Confirm with OK.

7.  On the network object sidebar, next to Ramps & Stairs, click the Edit graphic parameters button .

The list with the graphic parameters of the network object type opens (List of graphic parameters for network objects).

8.  In the Drawing mode list box, click Use color scheme.

9.  In the list of graphic parameters, click Color scheme configuration.

The window Edit Color Scheme for Ramps & Stairs opens.

If the window does not open because the option has been deactivated since program start, click the  icon at the end of the row to open the window.

10.  Make the desired changes:

Symbol Element Description

Attribute

Opens an attribute selection window. The result attributes can be filtered (Setting a filter for selection of subattributes displayed).

Predefined color scheme

Open Select pre-defined color scheme list box (Using LOS schemes for showing aggregated pedestrian values): Select a defined color scheme and show it in the list below. The color schemes vary in color and class bound.

 

Element Description

List

  • UpperBound column: Enter values. The upper bound belongs the value range.
  • Column Color: Select the color. You may also enter RGB values.

The unit of the values depends on the attribute selected and is displayed in the Classification section, below the attribute selected.

Range scale factor

  • Enter a factor for the upper bound and lower bound
  • Apply button: Multiply values of upper bounds and lower bounds by a factor

11.  If you want to change the RGB values in the Color column, double-click the desired row.

12.  Confirm with OK.
