Adjust walkway parameters to effect people movement in a queuing system simulation.
Transcript
00:04
While running a simulation in your InfraWorks Mobility Simulation model,
00:08
you may notice that certain areas of pedestrian movement appear unrealistic for this particular situation.
00:16
You can adjust walkway parameters to modify pedestrian movement and examine the effect on the simulation.
00:24
As the simulation plays in this example, the pedestrians are moving too quickly through a group of 5 parallel walkways,
00:33
where queuing is supposed to take place.
00:36
To simulate the intended queuing, the walkway parameters need to be adjusted—in this case,
00:42
by limiting the number of people on each walkway and adding an inspection delay.
00:49
Orient the model to plan view and zoom in on the 5 walkways.
00:55
Using the middle mouse button, click each walkway in turn, then right-click the group and select Adjust.
01:03
In the Adjust dialog, you see the parameters previously set for these walkways.
01:10
In the Keep column, all fields are set to Right, indicating that pedestrians must keep to the right.
01:18
To simulate more realistic movement and allow people to move anywhere on the walkways,
01:24
first, enable Apply To All to apply modifications to all rows.
01:30
Then, click the first cell of the Keep column and select None.
01:35
In the Private column, click the box in the top row to make all walkways private.
01:42
With this option selected, only 1 person is allowed into a walkway at a time, which will create a delay and start a queue.
01:52
Finally, to simulate an inspection delay, in the Delay CD column, row 1, enter a value of 20 seconds.
02:01
Again, the delay is applied to all rows.
02:05
Click Apply and then Close.
02:08
For better visibility, rotate the model into a 3D view, and in the Tabs panel toolbar, select Play.
02:17
Now, as the simulation runs, you see people moving through the queueing system as intended.
02:24
To simulate a longer, problematic delay, such as a machine reader,
02:29
increase the delay even further for some or all of the walkways.
02:34
For this example, select the first 3 walkways, then right-click and select Adjust
02:42
to open the Adjust dialog, and in the Delay CD column, set the value in the first 3 rows to 90 seconds.
02:52
Click Apply and then Close.
02:56
Rewind the simulation and click Play again to see a queue building up as pedestrians approach the controlled area.
03:05
Once you model a particular situation in Mobility Simulation,
03:10
you can adjust the parameters as needed to see the effect on people movement.
