Selecting network settings for pedestrian behavior
You can define default values for pedestrian behavior. These serve as a global model parameters for the pedestrian routes that you define. When you change global model parameters, the parameters of pedestrian routes you already defined are not changed.
1. On the Base Data menu, click > Network Settings.
2. Select the Pedestrian Behavior tab.
3. Make the desired changes:
| Element | Description (Defining global model parameters) |
|---|---|
| Social force calculation | |
| Search neighborhood grid size |
Maximum distance up to which pedestrians influence each other, default value 5.00 m |
| Potential cell size of internal destinations |
This parameter specifies the distances at which control points are set by PT vehicles for calculation of the pedestrian route via stairways, ramps or through doors. As you are not required to enter intermediate points for pedestrian routes here, Vissim calculates the pedestrian route based on internal routing points of the pedestrian route. Default 0.15 m (Defining global model parameters). |
| Default obstacle distance |
only for calculation of the static potential: Specifies the distance up to which the nearby walls have a bearing on the distance potential. Default 0.50 m (Defining global model parameters). |
| Element | Description (Defining global model parameters) |
|---|---|
| Queuing | |
|
Queue order |
The higher this value, the more orderly (one after the other) pedestrians get in line in areas and elevators (Attributes of areas), (Elevator attributes):
Default 0.70 |
| Queue straightness |
The larger this value, the straighter the queue will look that pedestrians in areas are waiting in (Attributes of areas):
Default 0.60 |
| Element | Description (Defining global model parameters) |
|---|---|
| Behavior with dynamic potential (Dynamic potential) | |
|
Pedestrians - direction change clipping |
|
|
Direction change angle |
Maximum permitted angle by which the angle between the quickest and the shortest path can increase from one time step to the next, default value 4.0°. |
Select this option to allow for the angle between the fastest and shortest path to increase at any speed.
| Element | Description (Defining global model parameters) |
|---|---|
| Computation of experienced Level of Service | |
|
Radius for the computation of the pedestrians personal area: |
Radius around a pedestrian within which other pedestrians are recorded for calculation of pedestrian-based density (Showing pedestrians in the network in a list), default value 2.00 m. |
