Prerequisites and requirements of the service point selection method

• The main difference between partial pedestrian routing decisions using the Service point selection method and other partial pedestrian routing decisions:

For a pedestrian to be able to see the partial pedestrian route, an intermediate point of the pedestrian's original route must be positioned in the area where the partial pedestrian routing decision is made. This area is therefore a decision area. Select the Queuing attribute for this area (Attributes of areas) depending on the desired use case (Prerequisites and requirements of the service point selection method), (Prerequisites and requirements of the service point selection method).

Pedestrians following a pedestrian route without an intermediate point located in the decision area are not influenced by partial pedestrian routing decisions of this area. These pedestrians do not proceed to any of the service points connected through partial pedestrian routes with partial routing decisions located within the decision area.

• For pedestrians to walk to service points, each partial pedestrian route must include at least one intermediate point within the decision area.
• If the Queue attribute of the decision area is selected, the area becomes a queue area, allowing a queue to form within it.
• For a central queue to form within the queue area, the partial pedestrian routing decision must be situated within this area (Scenario 1: Central queue).
• For immediate service point allocation, the partial pedestrian routing decision must not be positioned in a queuing area (Scenario 2: Immediate service point allocation).
• Each queue area that is part of the route of a partial pedestrian route can be assigned a waiting time distribution through the Time distribution attribute (Attributes of areas).
