Transcript
00:03
Once you establish a pedestrian traffic network within an InfraWorks Mobility Simulation model,
00:09
you can combine pedestrian and vehicle traffic to see them interact in a traffic simulation animation.
00:15
Begin this example with a model containing a finished pedestrian walkway network
00:20
open in the InfraWorks Mobility Simulation application window.
00:24
First, adjust the demands, or the vehicle and pedestrian traffic volume.
00:30
From the ribbon, in the Demand menu, click Demands.
00:34
The Demand Editor dialog appears.
00:37
For this example, the traffic volume parameters have already been set in Matrix1,
00:42
but you need to create a new matrix, where you can set the pedestrian traffic volume parameters.
00:48
In the toolbar, click Add.
00:51
The New Matrix dialog box opens, where you can specify the name, mode, profile, division, origin sector,
01:01
and destination sector for the new pedestrian matrix.
01:05
In this case, leave the default settings, including the name Matrix2 and the Mode set to People.
01:13
Click OK.
01:14
To set the volume of people you want to include in the traffic model, in the Demand Editor dialog for Matrix2, click in the first cell of column 2.
01:24
In the model, pan and zoom out to see the arrow indicating the direction of demand.
01:30
Click in the cell again, and enter “100” as the number of people moving from area 2 to area 1.
01:38
Click OK.
01:40
Finally, create a simulation with the new settings.
01:43
In the Tabs panel, Simulation tab, click New, enter a name or accept the default, and then click OK.
01:53
To make it current, select Simulation1 in the list, and then click Show (the light bulb).
01:59
Click Play to run the simulation.
02:02
You now see both pedestrians and vehicles moving in the model.
02:07
Zoom in to the crosswalk to see how the addition of people influences the flow of traffic.
02:14
Now, cars need to stop to allow people to cross.
