Defining pedestrian inputs

Pedestrian inputs are positioned on areas. The pedestrians in the pedestrian input are not generated at this point, but are generated randomly at different positions in the area. This way, you can use the shape and size of this area to determine whether Vissim should create pedestrians for selected spots or large areas.

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).

1.  On the network object sidebar, select Pedestrian Inputs.

2.  Hold down the Ctrl key and right-click on the desired position of the pedestrian input in the pedestrian area.

The pedestrian input is defined. Per default, the pedestrian area displays a black circle with a blue outline. The pedestrian area is displayed in green. The Pedestrian Inputs list opens if automatic opening of a list after object generation is selected (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object).

A new row with default data is inserted.

The default value for the Volume (Volume) is 0. The default value for the Pedestrian composition (PedComp) is Pedestrian. Both default values are valid for all time intervals defined for pedestrian inputs.

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

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

In the next steps, you assign the desired network objects to the selected pedestrian input.

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):

• Area: Area attributes
• Pedestrian volumes by time interval: If you have entered a volume or selected a pedestrian composition and then select Pedestrian volumes by time interval, the attributes of the pedestrian volumes for the first time interval are displayed.

4.  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.

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

6.  If you wish to define more pedestrian volumes for the selected pedestrian input, enter more time intervals in the right-hand list.

The data is allocated.
