7.1.9 Area-based Walking Behavior<br />

The Pedestrians Editor (Add-on)<br />

Walking behavior is composed from a desired speed, which is allocated to<br />

the pedestrian composition, and the parameters of the pedestrian dynamics<br />

model, which are allocated to the pedestrian type. Additionally there is the<br />

possibility to assign area-based walking behaviors to areas and ramps.<br />

An Area-based Walking Behavior is composed of the following:<br />

► One or more Walking Behavior Parameter Sets<br />

► A class of pedestrians to which it applies for each Walking Behavior<br />

Parameter Set.<br />

A Walking Behavior Parameter Set comprises of the following:<br />

► A time interval structure<br />

► For each time interval: a desired walking speed distribution<br />

► For each time interval: a parameter file<br />

7.1.9.1 Walking Behavior Parameter Sets<br />

Similar to a driving behavior parameter set for a vehicle class (cf. section<br />

5.4), a walking behavior parameter set is applied to pedestrians belonging to<br />

a certain class of pedestrians.<br />

The walking behavior is linked to each walkable element by the area<br />

behavior type. For each class of pedestrians, a different walking behavior<br />

parameter set may be defined - even within the same walkable element (for<br />

details cf. section 5.5).<br />

The parameter sets can be edited in the Walking Behavior Parameter Sets<br />

window which is accessible by BASE DATA – WALKING BEHAVIOR.<br />

By default, several parameter sets are provided in XML data file format in the<br />

sub-folder EXE\PEDESTRIANMODELDATA of your <strong>VISSIM</strong> installation.<br />

For the parameters in detail, please refer to section 7.6.<br />

For time interval definition and editing, please refer to section 6.4.3.1.<br />
