Place road crossings and walkway connections to your traffic simulation model in InfraWorks Mobility Simulation.
Transcript

Once you have added walkways to your traffic simulation model in InfraWorks,
00:08
the next thing you need to do before simulating pedestrian movement is to add crosswalks and connect the walkways.
00:15
Begin in the InfraWorks Mobility Simulation application window, with your traffic simulation animation playing.
00:23
To add a road crossing, you need to use the Lane tools, because a crosswalk is considered a function of the road in InfraWorks.
00:31
Select the road you want to cross, then right-click and select Lane > New Crossing.
00:38
This opens the Select Crossing Options dialog.
00:41
Here, you can specify the type and position of the crosswalk.
00:45
For this example, expand the Type drop-down and select Unsignalized, Pedestrian Right of Way (Zebra).
00:53
This crossing type has no traffic signals and gives pedestrians the right of way.
00:59
Leave the Position set to Middle, and then click OK.
01:03
Now, the New Crossing dialog displays.
01:07
Here, you can specify the name, route class, measurements, group, and signal timing for the crossing.
01:15
As this is an unsignalized crosswalk, click OK.
01:20
Back in the project window, you now see the road crossing placed in your model.
01:25
Select the crosswalk, then click the center line and drag to move its position close to the nearby walkways.
01:33
Next, connect it to the two adjacent walkways,
01:37
Pick the arrow at the top end (C)of the crosswalk on Caswell Road,
01:42
and then pick the closest end (D) of the walkway above and to the right.
01:47
Right-click in the model and select Walkway > New Connection.
01:52
A curved connector appears.
01:56
Now, do the same for the nearest walkway below the crossing.
02:00
Pick the D-end of the crosswalk, and then the D-end of the walkway.
02:05
Right-click and select Walkway > New Connection.
02:09
Again, a curved connector appears.
02:12
The road crossing is now connected to the two neighboring walkways.
02:17
Repeat these steps twice more to connect the last two walkways.
02:21
Then, zoom out for a broader view of the pedestrian network.
02:25
With crosswalks added and walkways connected in your Mobility Simulation model,
02:30
the last thing you need to do to prepare for simulating pedestrian movement is to connect pedestrian areas to the walkways.
