7 Simulation of Pedestrians
Column Description
Dist Distance (in the current unit for short distances) that the
pedestrian traveled on measurement area(s)
DistNetwork Distance [m] pedestrian traveled in network so far
7.2.3 Pedestrian Record
For each pedestrian, the pedestrian protocol *.PP records a data line per
time step. The evaluation can be limited to a user-defined time interval as
well as to selected classes of pedestrians.
Generally, it can be compared to the vehicle protocol, cf. section 11.7.
Furthermore, many of the pedestrian record output parameters can be
viewed as pedestrian information in a separate window for each of the
selected pedestrians while the simulation is running, cf. section 7.2.5.
Definition
No additional definition required.
Configuration
In order to get the desired output data additional information is needed. This
can be provided within the Pedestrian Record - Configuration window which
can be accessed by pressing the CONFIGURATION button via EVALUATION –
FILES in the [PEDESTRIANS] tab once the option Pedestrian Record is active.
The Configuration window allows for definition of any combination of the
parameters of pedestrians. If Database output is not active, each layout line
results in a column within the output file *.PP.
The configuration settings will be saved to an external *.PDK file.
