Version-specific functions of pedestrian simulation
The Vissim license for vehicular traffic may optionally include the Viswalk add-on module for pedestrian simulation.
Vissim without add-on module Viswalk
- If your Vissim license does not include the Viswalk add-on module, you still have access to the following functions:
- You can import files containing elements for pedestrian modeling in *.inpx format. They may also contain several levels and more than 30 pedestrians.
- You can perform a simulation that also includes pedestrians. You can model up to 30 pedestrians in the network at the same time. If the imported network file does not contain pedestrian data, Vissim generates default data for pedestrian types, pedestrian classes and pedestrian compositions.
- Pedestrian modeling can be performed using the Wiedemann or Helbing modeling approach. This is possible for up to 30 pedestrians in the network.
Vissim with add-on module Viswalk
- If your Vissim license includes the Viswalk add-on module, the number of pedestrians is limited by the license size of Viswalk.
- You can choose whether to use the modeling approach of Helbing or Wiedemann with the Viswalk add-on module.
- When you start the Viswalk program, the following default data is generated:
- Pedestrian types, for example Man,Woman, Woman & Child, Wheelchair
- Pedestrian types, for example Man, Woman, Wheelchair user
- Pedestrian compositions, e.g. Pedestrians
Viswalk without vehicle simulation
- The Viswalk product without vehicle simulation can only be used to simulate pedestrians.
- During the installation of Viswalk, a specific default defaults.inpx network file for the pedestrian simulation is installed which does not contain any vehicle-specific objects (Saving and importing a layout of the user interface).
- If you have a maintenance agreement for Viswalk, you can contact PTV Vision Support (Service and support).
