VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

The Pedestrians Editor (Add-on)
● Display Type: Color, texture etc. for display of the ramp/stairs. Select one
of the display types defined via BASE DATA - DISPLAY TYPES, cf. section
5.5.2.
● Visualization: In this section, only the relevant option is regarded during a
simulation, the other one will be ignored. This depends on the current
selection via menu VIEW – OPTIONS – [PEDESTRIANS], cf. section 7.2.5.
For example, these options can be used to model tunnels and
underpasses in 2D graphics.
- Individual pedestrians: This option is regarded, if the global display
option Individual pedestrians is active, cf. section 7.3.2.
When turned off, no pedestrians are shown on that ramp or
stairway during the simulation.
- Aggregated values: If the global display option Aggregated values is
active, the currently active LOS scheme can be overruled for this
stairway in case of area-based LOS display, cf. section 7.3.3.
If this option is active, you can select either a LOS scheme which
is different from the globally selected one or Display type from the list
of schemes for display of this stairway during simulation.
When turned off, no aggregate values are shown on that stairway
during the simulation.
● Behavior type: Optional property of ramps and areas, serves for
modelling occasional changes to speed or other parameters. Select a
type from the list of area behavior types defined via BASE DATA - AREA
BEHAVIOR TYPES, cf. section 7.1.9.2.
● Element type: Walkable space connecting two storeys can be either a
Ramp or a Stairway. Select the appropriate option and set the specific
parameters by element type.
Prior to Ramp/Stairway definition, at least two levels have to be defined.
