Topics


SimWalk PRO is a general-purpose pedestrian simulation software for applications in urban planning, evacuation, event and traffic management…

…for pedestrian flow analysis and management, e.g. density and bottleneck analysis, facility efficiency, safety evaluation or general operational

analysis (queues, processors etc.)

…SimWalk PRO is a decision tool to improve the sustainbility of the interaction between pedestrians and the environment

1. SimWalk PRO in a nutshell

STEP 1: Import of simulation plan (CAD .dxf format)

STEP 2:

Model creation and definition of passenger types

STEP 3: Simulation experiments

STEP 4: Analysis of simulation results

1. How does SimWalk PRO work?



SimWalk directly integrates CAD files (.dxf), one level or multi-level scenarios.

SimDraw modul provides an integrated CAD tool in SimWalk to change and adapt CAD files.

STEP 1: Import of simulation plan


STEP 2: Model creation and definition of passenger types

Creation of the spatial model and operations (escalators, stairs, elevators etc.)

Definition of passenger routes (Start-, wait and exit areas)

Selection of passenger types (e.g. elderly, business people, disabled etc.)



STEP 2: Definition of passenger types with profiles

SimWalk PRO integrates predefined passenger profiles, delivering easy definition and simulation of passenger types

In addition, optional „Pedestrian Database“ modul includes data, formulas and tables of the most important research

studies in pedestrian simulation of the last 20 years



STEP 3: Conducting simulation experiments

Simulation studies may be conducted directly in different visualization modes or without visualization in faster batch mode

Integrated CAD-Tool SimDraw allows fast changes of simulation layouts between simulation experiments

Fast adaptation and change of

passenger parameters (number, typ etc.) between simulation experiments www.simwalk.comSavannah Simulations AG / 2010

STEP 4: Analysis of simulation results

SimWalk simulation results are stored in Access database and can be analyzed using integrated analysis tools or with SQL queries

Numerical results may be exported to Excel or analyzed in any other statistics software.

Simulation results maybe visualized as

tables, bar charts, videos or snapshots in 2D or 3D


3. Features of analysis

Crowd densities (bottlenecks etc.) Pedestrian speeds and delays Transfer times and connections Pedestrian counts & flow rates Layout / facility analyis / space utilization Pedestrian paths and route choices Predefined Levels of Service Self-defined areas of analysis Object capacities (escalators, stairs, elevators etc.) Commercial footfall analysis Queuing time and process capacities


4. Object based modeling

Modeling with SimWalk is based on generic graphical objects that allow broad flexibility in creating new and using predefined objects

For example, pedestrian paths are modeled with start-, wait and exit

objects and connections or processors with stair, escalator, elevator, gates or turnstile objects

Object properties can be adjusted

based on „capacity“, „frequency“,

„delay“, „speed reduction“ or „utilization time“.


5. 3D visualization - 3D EASY mode

SimWalk PRO 3D EASY delivers a fast and easy 3D visualization with predefined 3D world functionalities and simplified pedestrian 3D objects

3D EASY allows efficient realization of 3D visualizations for a first 3D impression of simulation results



SimWalk PRO Full 3D mode

SimWalk FULL 3D visualization is

based on the following 3 data sources:

1) 3D virtual worlds can be created with any 3D Software (e.g. 3ds max) and exported in VRML 97 format

2) Virtual humans are delivered with

SimWalk PRO (or may be created in MD2 Format)

3) SimWalk PRO simulation results

SimWalk 3D rendering engine integrates all the data for an impressive 3D visualization

6. SimWalk PRO collaterals

SimWalk products are specifically designed for easy usage to minimize the learning curve and simulation project time

Basic simulation studies may be completed in 1 to 2 days

On site and online trainings combined with comprehensive support reduce initial training time

SimWalk technology and usability are

under constant development based on the expertise of the SimWalk Scientific Board and associated universities
