Add stands to a railway network in InfraWorks Mobility Simulation

Add people stands to your railway network to enable the ability for passengers to board and disembark trains.


00:03

When creating a railway network in Mobility Simulation,

00:07

once you have added and connected rail segments, the next step is to add stands.

00:12

Railway stands are platforms that allow the people in a multimodal simulation model to board and exit the train.

00:20

Begin with an InfraWorks Mobility Simulation model open, with two railway segments already connected.

00:27

For this example, you need to add four stands, one stand for each end of the railway,

00:32

along with two intermediate points along the train route.

00:36

Use the ViewCube to zoom in to the bottom end of your railway model.

00:40

To add a stand, pick the left rail lane, right-click, and select Lane > New Stand.

00:47

Zoom in again to see the people stand now in place.

00:51

It appears very small, but you can adjust the size for a clearer view.

00:56

Right-click the stand, and select Adjust.

00:60

This opens the Adjust dialog.

01:03

Here, you can specify attributes such as the name, description, size, offset, and number of doors for the stand.

01:12

For this example, on the Stands tab, change the Size to 40 meters.

01:18

Click Apply, and then Close.

01:21

The train stand now appears larger, extending down one end of the railway model.

01:26

Repeat the same process to create a second stand farther along the train route.

01:31

Again, pick the left rail lane, right-click, and select Lane > New Stand.

01:38

In the Adjust dialog, again, set the Size to 40.

01:43

The other thing you need to set here is the number of Doors.

01:47

These passenger entry and exit points are essentially the queueing points on the train platform.

01:53

For this example, set the number of Doors to 10, and then click Apply.

01:58

Zoom out to see the second 40-meter platform in the railway system.

02:03

While not currently visible, the 10 doors you just added are now placed equidistantly across the length of the stand.

02:10

Repeat the same process to add a third stand with 10 doors farther along the train route.

02:16

Then, add a final stand without doors near the end of the rail.

02:21

With four train stands placed in your InfraWorks Mobility Simulation model,

02:25

the next step is to create a scheduled train service for the railway network.
