2D Visualization of Pedestrian Traffic
Basically, the three options provided for visualization of road users and for
display of compiled data gained from vehicular or pedestrian traffic are the
same for vehicles on links and pedestrians on areas and ramps or stairways.
Also the display types can be allocated to links in the road network and to
construction elements for pedestrians as well.
This section describes the options for the visualization of pedestrian flows
using walkable construction elements.
For pedestrians, multiple Level of Service schemes allow for various
evaluations with regard to space or speed rating, cf. section 7.3.3.
7.3.1 Display Types of Construction Elements
As for vehicle traffic, display types for construction elements can be defined
via BASE DATA – DISPLAY TYPES, cf. section 5.5.2
Via VIEW – OPTIONS – [COLORS] you can enable or disable the usage of the
display types for screen display of obstacles, areas, ramps and stairways, cf.
section 4.1.3.
If option Use display type color is not checked in this window, the color
chosen for Links/Areas will be used for areas and ramps and stairways
instead. For obstacles, the Land color will be used in this case.
7.3.2 Display Options for Pedestrians
Via VIEW - OPTIONS... - [PEDESTRIANS] various options are provided for the
