Defining pedestrian attribute decisions

Notes:  

You can define the pedestrian attribute decision and allocate it to one of the following network objects:

  • Area
  • Ramp
  • Stairway
  • Escalator
  • Moving walkway
  • Elevator

1.  On the network object sidebar, click  Pedestrian Attribute Decisions.

2.  Hold down the Ctrl key and right-click the desired position of the pedestrian attribute decision in the network object that you want to allocate the pedestrian attribute decision to.

A gray circle with a blue contour is inserted. The Pedestrian Attribute Decisions list opens.

3.  Edit the attributes:

Short name Long name Description

No.

Number

Unique number of the pedestrian attribute decision

Name

Name

Name of the pedestrian attribute decision

AllPedTypes

All pedestrian types

 If this option is selected, all pedestrian types will follow the pedestrian attribute decision.

The option All Pedestrian Types is a virtual pedestrian class that automatically includes all new pedestrian types. This also includes pedestrian types that have not yet been allocated to a pedestrian class.

PedClasses

Pedestrian classes

Pedestrian classes to which the pedestrian attribute decision applies

Attr

Attribute

Click the symbol: Select the pedestrian attribute for which a value is to be set or taken from a distribution defined in Vissim. The Attribute is not dependent on the time interval or pedestrian class. The Attribute can be a user-defined attribute (Using user-defined attributes).

ValueAssignTyp

Value assignment type

  • Formula: Formula used to calculate the Attribute. Only enabled if under the attribute Value assignment type, Formula is selected. If the formula is numeric but the target attribute is a string, Vissim will convert the numeric to string.
  • Distribution (Distr): Distribution defined in Vissim to which the Attribute is set. Only enabled if under the attribute Value assignment type, Distribution is selected.

TimeFrom

Time from

Start of the time interval during which the pedestrian attribute decision is valid (in simulation seconds). Default: 0.00 s

TimeTo

Time to

End of the time interval during which the pedestrian attribute decision is valid (in simulation seconds)

Area

Area

Number of the area that the pedestrian attribute decision is allocated to

Elevator

Elevator

Number of the elevator that the pedestrian attribute decision is allocated to

Ramp

Ramp/Stairs

Number of the ramp or stairway that the pedestrian attribute decision is allocated to

x

x

x-offset to the center of the rectangle surrounding the area, ramp, stairway or elevator

y

y

y-offset to the center of the rectangle surrounding the area

Showing and editing dependent objects as relation

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

1.  In the list on the left, click the desired entry.

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):

  • Pedestrian classes

2.  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.

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

The data is allocated.
