Defining pedestrian travel time measurement

Pedestrian travel time measurement is based on a start point (in a start area) and a destination point (in a destination area). The travel time is determined from entering the start area where the start point is located until entering the destination area where the destination point is located, including wait times. You can show this data in an evaluation (Evaluating pedestrian travel time measurements).

Travel time measurements are not shown in 3D mode.

If you define travel time measurements in multistory buildings on levels, for example, check whether the respective level is correct for each pedestrian travel time measurement. Go to the list Pedestrian Travel Time Measurements and select the attributes Start area > level and End area > level. Check the correct position on the various levels in 2D mode by selecting the visibility for the desired level and hiding the other levels (Using the Level toolbar).

Notes:  

1.  On the network object sidebar, click Pedestrian Travel Times.

In the next step, you may choose the position of the start point in the start area.

2.  Press the Ctrl key and right-click in the start area.

Per default, a pink circle is inserted.

3.  Drag the cursor to the destination area.

4.  Click.

Per default, a green dot is inserted. The Pedestrian Travel Time Measurements list opens.

Note: In lists, you can use the  Attribute selection icon to show and hide attribute values (Selecting attributes and subattributes for columns of a list).

5.  Edit the attributes:

Description

No

Number of travel time measurement. You can enter a different number.

Use a continuous numbering system for the Vissim network. This simplifies the evaluations.
