Using desired speed distributions for pedestrians
You can use desired speed distributions for pedestrians that are described in the specialized literature. You can allocate desired speed distributions for pedestrians to the following types of base data:
- The desired pedestrian types in pedestrian compositions (Attributes of pedestrian compositions)
- The desired pedestrian classes in area behavior types (Defining area behavior types)
The walking behavior of pedestrians and the simulation results are strongly affected by the various desired speed distributions. Upper and lower limits for pedestrian speed and intermediate points, which mark the changes in speed, are defined in the desired speed distributions for pedestrians.
Viswalk contains the following desired speed distributions for pedestrians that are described in the specialized literature (Attributes of desired speed distributions):

1045 | Airport - S.B. Young |
Speed distribution for pedestrians in airports. Young, S.B.: TRB article: Evaluation of Pedestrian Walking Speeds in Airport Terminals and record: Evaluation of Pedestrian Walking Speeds in Airport Terminals. |
1046 | Airport - S.B. Young |
Speed distribution for pedestrians on moving walkways in airports. The speeds of pedestrians on the moving walkway are given relative to the speed of the walkway, so the speeds of some pedestrians are close to ZERO. Young and Viswalk define the speed distribution differently:
In Viswalk, the speed difference 1009 of Young begins at 0.77 km/h. Therefore enter 74.5 % for the attribute Walking percentage (WalkPerc). |
