Define terms and people types in Mobility Simulation

00:03

One way to use InfraWorks Mobility Simulation is to create an animated queuing system.

00:09

Once you have created a network of connected walkways and people areas,

00:14

you can begin to define the pedestrians moving through the simulation.

00:18

With a queue system already created and open in InfraWorks Mobility Simulation, from the toolbar, select Parameters.

00:26

In the shortcut menu, select Terms to see that in this case,

00:31

the simulation is set to a 30-minute time window.

00:34

Click Apply, and then OK.

00:37

Once again, Select Parameters, and then People.

00:42

In the Person Types dialog, you can create different types of people,

00:46

each of which looks and behaves according to the parameters you set, including size, movement, and group functionality.

00:53

On the Description tab, click Add (+) twice to add two new person types.

00:59

Then, do the same to add 2 types on the Size tab, and on the Motion tab.

01:05

Back in the Description tab, in the first Person row, select the Colour field.

01:10

In the Choose Colour dialog, select a color, and then click OK.

01:16

Select a color for the second Person row.

01:19

In the Avatar Group column, click in the top row and select Adult, then select Child in the second row.

01:26

Click Apply.

01:28

If the fields reset to the defaults, repeat the process, and Apply the changes again.

01:34

Select the Size tab, and in the Space column, notice the numbers that indicate the spacing between people.

01:40

Select the Motion tab and examine the speed parameters.

01:44

In the Child row, Maximum Speed column, reduce the speed to 1, so that a child moves more slowly than an adult.

01:51

Select Apply.

01:53

When you are finished adjusting parameters, click Apply and then OK.

01:59

Once you set the people type parameters,

02:02

the next step is to set up demand divisions and direct the demand of pedestrians moving through the simulation
