7 Simulation of Pedestrians
If a queuing area which is selected for queue evaluation has no dwell time
distribution selected, all pedestrians who fulfill the three criteria listed below
are considered to be part of that queue for the queue evaluation until they
leave this area.
► The pedestrians have this area as next routing destination (or have
already arrived on that area).
► The pedestrians are slower than 0.4 m/s.
► The pedestrians are either closer than 2 m to the area edge that the
queue arrow points to or closer than 2 m to another pedestrian who
belongs to that queue.
Pedestrians are displayed as red ovals in 2D mode while they are inside
such a queue.
Configuration
No configuration settings required.
