Defining doors for public transport vehicles

You can define doors for the following network objects:

• for the 2D/3D model segments of the 2D/3D models of public transport vehicles
• for elevator doors (Elevator door attributes)

Note: Make sure the length of PT vehicles matches the length of the PT stops. For the Viswalk simulation, all doors need to be located in full width within the stop and within the corresponding pedestrian area of the Platform edge type.

1.  On the Base Data menu, click > 2D/3D Model Segments.

The 2D/3D Model Segments list opens.

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

2.  Select the desired 2D/3D model segment of a PT vehicle.

3.  On the list toolbar, in the Relations list box, click > Doors.

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):

Element	Meaning
Pos	Position: Distance between door and front of the vehicle element
Width	Door width
yOffset	Y-offset: Distance between door and the longitudinal axis through the vehicle center. Select the Y-offset large enough (> 0.25 m) to allow the aisle in the PT vehicle to be wide enough for passengers to use it.
ZOffset	Z-offset: Height above link level
Side	Both: The element has doors on both sides Right: Direction of traffic right Left: Direction of traffic left
Usage	Boarding: only for boarding Alighting: only for lighting Both: for alighting and boarding None
BoardDelType	Boarding delay type to which the boarding delay function is assigned. It is used as basis to calculate the boarding delay. The pedestrian classes affected by the boarding delay are assigned to the boarding delay type (Using the Boarding Delay function).

4.  Right-click the row header in the right-hand list.

5.  On the shortcut menu, click Add.

6.  Enter the desired data.
