Defining pedestrian attribute decisions

Notes:

You can specify that you need not press the Ctrl key when adding network objects (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object).
For some network objects there are windows in which the attributes of a network object can be defined and edited. There are lists for this, for all network objects. You can choose whether you want to open a window, a list or neither of the two for the definition of network objects in the Network Editor (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object).

You can define the pedestrian attribute decision and allocate it to one of the following network objects:

Area
Ramp
Stairway
Escalator
Moving walkway
Elevator

1. On the network object sidebar, click Pedestrian Attribute Decisions.

2. Hold down the Ctrl key and right-click the desired position of the pedestrian attribute decision in the network object that you want to allocate the pedestrian attribute decision to.

A gray circle with a blue contour is inserted. The Pedestrian Attribute Decisions list opens.

3. Edit the attributes:

Short name	Long name	Description
No.	Number	Unique number of the pedestrian attribute decision
Name	Name	Name of the pedestrian attribute decision
AllPedTypes	All pedestrian types	If this option is selected, all pedestrian types will follow the pedestrian attribute decision. The option All Pedestrian Types is a virtual pedestrian class that automatically includes all new pedestrian types. This also includes pedestrian types that have not yet been allocated to a pedestrian class.
PedClasses	Pedestrian classes	Pedestrian classes to which the pedestrian attribute decision applies
Attr	Attribute	Click the symbol: Select the pedestrian attribute for which a value is to be set or taken from a distribution defined in Vissim. The Attribute is not dependent on the time interval or pedestrian class. The Attribute can be a user-defined attribute (Using user-defined attributes).
ValueAssignTyp	Value assignment type	Formula: Formula used to calculate the Attribute. Only enabled if under the attribute Value assignment type, Formula is selected. If the formula is numeric but the target attribute is a string, Vissim will convert the numeric to string. Distribution (Distr): Distribution defined in Vissim to which the Attribute is set. Only enabled if under the attribute Value assignment type, Distribution is selected.
TimeFrom	Time from	Start of the time interval during which the pedestrian attribute decision is valid (in simulation seconds). Default: 0.00 s
TimeTo	Time to	End of the time interval during which the pedestrian attribute decision is valid (in simulation seconds)
Area	Area	Number of the area that the pedestrian attribute decision is allocated to
Elevator	Elevator	Number of the elevator that the pedestrian attribute decision is allocated to
Ramp	Ramp/Stairs	Number of the ramp or stairway that the pedestrian attribute decision is allocated to
x	x	x-offset to the center of the rectangle surrounding the area, ramp, stairway or elevator
y	y	y-offset to the center of the rectangle surrounding the area

Showing and editing dependent objects as relation

The attribute and attribute values of this network object type are shown in the list on the left, which consists of two coupled lists.

1. In the list on the left, click the desired entry.

The list on the right contains attributes and attribute values of network objects, and/or base data allocated to the network object selected in the list on the left (Using coupled lists):

Pedestrian classes

2. On the list toolbar, in the Relations list, click the desired entry.

The right-hand list is shown. If there is no assignment, only the column titles are shown.

3. Enter the desired attribute values in the right-hand list (Attributes of pedestrian classes).

The data is allocated.
