The Pedestrians Editor (Add-on)
To the right, the details of the selected class of pedestrians are displayed
and can be edited.
7.1.3.2 Properties & Options
● No.: Unique identification of the class of pedestrians
● Name: Any name or comment
● Color determined by: In 3D display mode, all objects of that model (to
be defined in the optional add-on “VISSIM 3D Modeler”) will be filled
with a color of this distribution. For color distributions, cf. section 5.2.4.
- If option Pedestrian type is active, VISSIM will ignore the color
distribution selected for the particular class of pedestrians and use
the distributions selected by pedestrian type instead.
- If option Pedestrian class is active, VISSIM will use the color
distribution selected for the particular class of pedestrians for
display of the shirt (cf. type color 1) for all pedestrians of a type
belongig to the selected class. For a type belonging to two classes
VISSIM uses the color distribution currently being allocated to the
class with the greater number.
● Pedestrian types: The types of pedestrians belonging to the selected
class of pedestrians are highlighted in the list below.
To edit this allocation, please left-click the one you would like to allocate
to this class and thus automatically deselect all others. This way, you
may mark multiple entries:
- To multiselect several type entries, hold down CTRL simultaneously.
- To select a range of types, hold down SHIFT simultaneously.
7.1.4 Construction Elements: Areas, Ramps, Obstacles
Pedestrians walk on dedicated pedestrian areas or on ramps. Ramps
connect areas on different levels. Areas and ramps as well as obstacles
represent a particular type in VISSIM: Construction Elements.
A construction element is basically a geometric shape (either a rectangle or a
polygon). It can be either a walkable space (area/ramp) or an obstacle.
► Obstacles are no walkable space; on an obstacle, no pedestrians can
walk.
► Walkable spaces are either areas or ramps; on a walkable space,
pedestrians can walk where no obstacle is. Where walkable spaces
overlap, pedestrians can pass from one space to the other.
Areas can carry further optional information for pedestrian objects like
e.g. pedestrian inputs or routing decisions. For public transport stops,
areas can serve as waiting area or platform edge.
