Requirements for pedestrian simulation

  • At least one pedestrian type has to be defined.
  • At least one pedestrian composition has to be defined.
  • At least one pedestrian input, yielding pedestrians, must be defined.

Tip: As an alternative to pedestrian inputs, you can use a pedestrian OD matrix that contains demand data (Pedestrian OD matrices). Based on the OD matrix, pedestrian inputs, routing decisions and routes for pedestrians are automatically generated.

  • Pedestrian routing decisions must contain at least one route per pedestrian type that belongs to the pedestrian composition. The pedestrian composition must be defined in the pedestrian input. The pedestrian input must lie within the same area as the pedestrian routing decision.
  • In each area that contains one or more pedestrian inputs, there must be at least one pedestrian routing decision.
  • The area of the pedestrian input, all areas with intermediate points and the area of the route destination must be connected to each other via areas or ramps & stairways.
