Basic simulation in InfraWorks Mobility Simulation

Create and simulate pedestrian mobility.


00:03

Mobility Simulation is an integrated multi-modal mobility simulation engine for InfraWorks.

00:10

One way to use Mobility Simulation is to create animated simulations of pedestrian movement.

00:16

With two walkways and two areas defined already in InfraWorks Mobility Simulation, parameters configured,

00:23

and direct demand applied, you can simulate the network.

00:27

From the Tabs panel, select Simulation.

00:31

The Simulation tab allows you to define simulations, select one to be active, and run the currently active simulation.

00:38

There must always be at least one simulation, and typically there are several—for example,

00:45

one for the morning peak period and one for the evening peak period.

00:49

Each simulation is made up of several component pages, including parameters, control, demand, and trips.

00:57

From the simulation toolbar, click New.

01:01

This displays the New Simulation dialog.

01:04

In the Name field, enter a name for the simulation, such as “Simulation 11”, and then click OK.

01:11

Back in the Tabs panel, notice that a simulation table populates with automatically generated Trips.

01:18

Select Simulation11, and then click the lightbulb Activate Simulation button to make it current.

01:24

Simulation11 now appears highlighted in the list.

01:28

Once the simulation is active, select Play.

01:32

In the project window, a simulation of pedestrian mobility displays.

01:38

While a simulation plays, you can orbit and pan the view of your model.

01:43

Click and drag in the project window to orbit the view.

01:46

You can also zoom into the view.
