Attributes of pedestrian inputs

The Pedestrian Inputs list opens when you insert the network object, if automatic opening of a list after object creation is enabled (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object).

1.  On the Lists menu, click > Pedestrian Traffic > Inputs.

The Pedestrian inputs list opens.

By default, you can edit the list (Using lists).

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

Tip: To open coupled lists for a network object type, on the Lists menu, click > <Name network object type>.

The list on the left may include the following attributes:

Column Description

No

Unique number of the pedestrian input

Name

Name of the pedestrian input

Area

Name of the area to which the pedestrian input was added

Volume(0)

Volume: number of pedestrians per hour and not per time interval

Pt

Coordinates of the circle of the pedestrian input

ShowLabel

Show label: If this option is not selected, the label for the pedestrian input is not displayed, even if the label for all pedestrian inputs is selected.

2.  If you want to change the time interval for a pedestrian input, right-click the desired entry in the Pedestrian Inputs list.

3.  On the shortcut menu, click Edit Time Intervals.

The Time Intervals list opens (Defining time intervals for a network object type).

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).

Showing and editing dependent objects as relation

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 Volumes By Time Interval list

2.  Enter the desired values.

Column Description
Cont

Continued: Adopts the volume of the previous interval, if several time intervals for pedestrian inputs have been defined. The first time interval is therefore always deactivated.

  • The option is not selected: The cells are white and are only valid for this interval.
  • The option is selected: The cells are gray and are valid for the period of the combined intervals. Only the last cell, for which the Cont attribute is not selected, can be edited. When this option is selected, a change in volume is adopted for all the following cells.
TimeInt

Time interval: Start and end of the interval in simulation seconds (Defining time intervals for a network object type).

PedComp Pedestrian composition (Defining pedestrian compositions)
Volume Volume: number of pedestrians per hour and not per time interval
VolType

Volume type:

  • Stochastic: Stochastic variations of the number of pedestrians may occur. The cells are white.
  • Exact: Exactly the specified number of pedestrians are generated and used. The cells are yellow.

The calculation method for the number of used pedestrians as well as the network entry time in the time interval is the same as for vehicles (Attributes of vehicle inputs).

3.  If you want to allocate additional volumes to other time intervals for the selected pedestrian input, right-click in the Pedestrian Volumes By Time Interval list.

4.  On the shortcut menu, click Add.

The next defined time interval will be added.

5.  Enter the desired values.
