Evaluating pedestrian density and speed based on areas

You can determine the density and speed of pedestrians and show them, together with other attributes, in the result lists Area Results and Ramps Results.

In addition, you have the following options to evaluate pedestrian density and speed:

• grid-based (Grid-based evaluation of pedestrian density and speed).
• for each individual pedestrian In this case, density is based on the pedestrians that at the end of an evaluation interval are located within a radius around a pedestrian (Showing pedestrians in the network in a list).

Density and speed are determined for the following network objects:

• Pedestrian Areas
• Ramps & Stairs
• On moving walkways or escalators, pedestrians are evaluated only on the moving parts of the network object and not on the entry and exit landings.
• Links for which the attribute Is pedestrian area has been selected.

By default, the data for all pedestrian classes is entered together. You can also show the data for certain pedestrian classes separately in the evaluation (Configuring evaluations of the result attributes for lists).

Output data and formats

You can save the following data and data formats:

Output	ASCII file	MDB table	Attribute file from attribute list Area evaluation results or ramp results
Aggregated data	-	-

• Show result attributes in a result list (Showing result attributes in result lists)

1.  From the Evaluation menu, choose > Configuration > Result Attributes tab.

2.  In the Areas & ramps row, select Collect data.

3.  If desired, change the time and/or the interval (Configuring evaluations of the result attributes for lists).

4.  Confirm with OK.

5.  Start the simulation (Running a simulation).

6.  If desired, on the Evaluation menu, click > Result Lists > Area Results or Ramp Results (Output attributes of area and ramp evaluation).
