Re: Incident element / incident object

Hello, The element you mention is what is now called the Action Timer. You can use it to generate a trigger/event/incident at a certain time during the simulation. To model the situation you describe, I see the following options: - In the next version of Pedestrian Dynamics (3.0) we do have elements...

Re: Queuing in PD

Hi, It took some time to figure out what was happening, but now I found the problem. I fixed it in the attached model version. You were on the right track by suggesting that it had to do with the train exits triggering agents after evacuation time. What happens is the following: - In the OnCreation ...

Re: Evacuation time analysis

Hi, That's because of the PD version. I used PD3.0 to create the example. Please find the PD2.0 model version attached to this post. The only thing that won't be applicable compared to my previous post is the option to get the results per separate exit automatically in one output graph. You'll get t...

Re: Queuing in PD

Hi, In some experiments you might miss 1 or 2 agents if the error occurred. I don't think it will influence the statistics a lot as the agents stay on an escalator that is not avaiable (so, it's not blocking other agents). In the meantime the bug has been fixed, so in the next release this shouldn't...

Re: Queuing in PD

Hi, See attached model. In height layer E3_Ticket I added some obstacles (the red ones). This removes the little networks behind the stairs/escalator. It will make the runs more stable, but it might still happen from time to time a agent gets stuck there during the evacuation. This is something in t...

Re: Queuing in PD

Also make sure that the activity locations do not overlap the unavailable passageways. So please check the locations at the platform:

Re: Queuing in PD

Hi, First of all: please select the option Split Edge in ALL the passageways in your model. You'll find it in the tab General of the passageways: Capture.JPG If you don't this, you get errors because agent cannot reach (for example) the green location in the picture below. It is along the path that ...

Re: Evacuation time analysis

Hi,

No, just one is enough. What you use the waypoints for is logging a time stamp, this time stamp can be used to calculate the travel times. The height layers isn't important for that time stamp and you can use just 1 waypoint.
