Attributes of pedestrian route locations

You can edit attributes of pedestrian route locations:

Destination: A pedestrian route location in a destination area, by default displayed as a turquoise circle. If you are using dynamic potential, it is displayed as a turquoise square.
Intermediate point: A pedestrian route location in an area the pedestrian route traverses, by default displayed as a blue circle. If you are using dynamic potential, it is displayed as a blue square.

Editing attributes of the destination

The turquoise dot or turquoise square, representing the destination of a pedestrian route, is also shown when the pedestrian route is not selected.

1. In the Network editor, double-click the turquoise point of the pedestrian route.

The Pedestrian Route Location window opens.

2. Edit the entries of your choice, see table below.

Editing the attributes of an intermediate point

The blue intermediate points of a pedestrian route are displayed when the pedestrian route is selected.

1. On the network object sidebar, click Pedestrian Routes.

2. In the desired pedestrian route, click the turquoise point of the destination.

The pedestrian route is displayed as a yellow line with blue intermediate points.

3. Double-click the desired intermediate point.

The Pedestrian Route Location window opens.

4. Make the desired changes:

Element	Description
Decision	Number of routing decision of pedestrian route
Route	Number of routing decision and number of pedestrian route
Area	Area in which the routing point is located In the list box, in the areas list, you can click another route location the pedestrian route runs through. Next to the Area field, the number and name of the level, where the area is located, are displayed.
Ramp	Ramp that lies on the routing point. In the list box, in the ramps list, you can click another ramp for the route location the pedestrian route runs through. Next to the Ramp field, the number and names of the two levels connecting the ramp are displayed.
Path choice method	Method of selecting the stairs, ramp or elevator between the route location on the current area and the next route location. Area center (default): Selects the smallest total direct line distance: from the center of the area on which the route location is located as soon as the pedestrian enters the area to the center of the area on which the next route location is located If the pedestrian can reach several ramps, stairs or elevators, the path choice method Area center can lead to longer paths than the path choice method Pedestrian position, because it is not the position of the pedestrian that is decisive, but the position of the area center points. Pedestrian position: Selects the link to the first ramp, stairs or the next elevator from the current position of the pedestrian. This is especially useful for expansive areas where pedestrians have multiple options, such as using various ramps, stairs, or elevators to reach the next route location. The path choice method Pedestrian position can affect the speed of the simulation, as an individual shortest path search is calculated for each pedestrian. The path choice method Pedestrian position cannot be selected for ramps. Since the selected path choice method applies between the current and the next route location, you can specify the path choice method for the individual sections of the pedestrian route.
Cell size	Edge length of a grid mesh used for the calculation of distances to the destination area with the static or dynamic potential (Defining global model parameters). Default value 0.15 m. Avoid values > object radius.
Obstacle distance	Distance up to which the nearby walls have a bearing on the distance potential (Defining global model parameters). Default 0.5 m.
Dynamic potential	UseDynPot: Routing takes place along the path with the lowest estimated travel time that pedestrians can take within a single level. Enables the input boxes for the parameters of dynamic potential (Dynamic potential), (Defining the Dynamic Potential for a static pedestrian route).

5. Confirm with OK.

Tips:

Alternatively, open the Pedestrian Route Location window for a route location that is an intermediate point or destination. To do so, in the Network editor, right-click the route location of your choice. Then on the shortcut menu, click Edit.

Editing additional attributes in the attribute list Route locations

In the attribute list Route locations, you can edit additional attributes of route locations.

1. On the Lists menu, click > Pedestrian Traffic > Static Routes.

The list of attributes opens.

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

2. In the Static Pedestrian Routes list, on the toolbar, in the Relations list box, click Route locations.

The Route locations list is displayed on the right. By default, you can edit the list (Using lists).

Note: In lists, you can use the Attribute selection icon to show and hide attribute values (Selecting attributes and subattributes for columns of a list).

In the Route locations list, in addition to the attributes described above, you can show and edit the following attributes:

Long name	Short name	Description
Dynamic potential - calculation interval	CalcInt	(Defining the Dynamic Potential for a static pedestrian route)
Dynamic potential - g (general strength)	g
Dynamic potential - h (direction impact)	h
Dynamic potential - impact	Impact
Dynamic potential	UseDynPot
Pedestrian routes (static)	PedRoutSta	Number of routing decision and number of the static pedestrian route
Pedestrian routes (partial)	PedRoutPart	Number of the pedestrian routing decision (partial) and number of the partial pedestrian route
Ban elevator use	BanElevUse	If a route location of a pedestrian route or partial pedestrian route lies on a ramp or stairs and you selected the attribute Ban elevator use for it, the pedestrian will not use the elevator until he has reached the next route location for which this attribute has not been selected.
Point	Pt	x and y coordinates of route location
WKT point	WKTPoint	x and y coordinates of the route location in the Well-known text format
x	x	x coordinate of route location
y	y	y coordinate of route location
