VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

The Pedestrians Editor (Add-on)
● Boarding location: By default, the door that is located most close to the
passenger is used as boarding location on pedestrian areas with public
transport usage. Alternatively, you can select one of the location
distributions for the door choice of boarding passengers. When boarding
a PT vehicle, the waiting passengers will select their doors accordingly,
cf. section 5.2.7.
If at a stop at least one pedestrian area is defined as waiting area or
platform edge, VISSIM assumes that alighting and boarding at that stop are
to be simulated microscopically and that the dwell time is not only to be
calculated numerically from the given numbers of alighting and boarding
passengers.
The difference becomes visible in the PT Line-specific Stop Data window,
since the content of this dialog changes when at least one pedestrian area
is defined as Waiting area or Platform edge, cf. section 6.5.2.5.
