Mobility Simulation is an integrated multimodal mobility simulation engine for InfraWorks.
00:09
When using Mobility Simulation to create animated simulations of pedestrian movement, you need to apply demand.
00:17
The demand is the number of people that want to travel, and the network of roads and pathways is the supply for this demand.
00:24
If demand is larger than supply, then there will be congestion.
00:28
With two walkways and two areas defined already in InfraWorks Mobility Simulation, and parameters configured, you can apply demand.
00:37
From the toolbar, expand Demand and for this example, select Demands.
00:43
This opens the Demand Editor dialog.
00:46
This dialog features a few tabs for adjusting Directed Demand, Undirected Demand, and Transport Demand.
00:54
Directed demand defines a number of trips, with each trip having an explicit origin and destination.
01:01
Directed demand can be used for Person-Trips or Vehicle-Trips.
01:06
Undirected demand defines a number of trips from each origin, but no explicit destination.
01:12
From the Directed Demand Tab, click Add (+).
01:15
The New Matrix dialog displays.
01:18
Here, you can set up a new directed demand matrix.
01:21
However, for now, leave the settings as they are and click OK.
01:25
Back in the Demand Editor, a new matrix appears, which you can use to send people from one place to another.
01:32
Move the dialog, if needed, so that you can see the walkway in the model.
01:36
From column 1 or column 2, click a cell in the matrix.
01:41
Notice in the project window, an arrow towards one of the defined areas highlights, indicating the direction of the demand in that cell.
01:50
To direct demand—in this case, 100 people—from area 2 to area 1, in the first cell of column 2, enter “100”.
02:00
Click OK.
