Combine pedestrian and vehicle traffic in your InfraWorks traffic simulation model

Combine pedestrian with vehicle traffic in your traffic simulation model in InfraWorks Mobility Simulation.


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.
