Network objects and base data for the simulation of pedestrians

The following network objects and base data are of particular importance for the modeling of pedestrians. In Vissim, use the network object sidebar to hide network object types that are only relevant for vehicles and thus only show network object types that you need for pedestrian simulation. Viswalk does not display network object types that are only relevant for vehicles.

Displaying only network object types for pedestrians

1.  Right-click in the network object sidebar.

2.  On the shortcut menu, click Pedestrian Object Types Only.

Base data

In addition to functions and distributions, the following base data is of particular importance:

• Pedestrian Types (Using pedestrian types)
• Pedestrian Classes (Using pedestrian classes)
• Walking Behaviors (Modeling area-based walking behavior)
• Area Behavior Types (Defining area behavior types)
• Display Types of areas and links (Defining display types)
• Levels for multistory models (Defining levels)

Base data in the Traffic menu

• Pedestrian Compositions (Modeling pedestrian compositions)
• Pedestrian OD matrix (Pedestrian OD matrices)
