Hello!! Does somebody know how to model a group of agents walking together across the environment? For example a family or a group of friends, is this possible?

Hi,

PD doesn't contain (yet) the grouping behaviour for agents. If you want to model this, you could create smalle groups with exact the same speed and same origin and destinations, but they will not necessarily stay together. Another approach could be to model a bigger agent to represent an adult and child(ren).

I already had these thoughts, too. Thank you for the answer! So i will not focus on groups in our model in the first run.
