SIA-Bentley Systems Professional Knowledge Seminar | Pedestrian Simulation and Social Distancing for Heavy Footfall Infrastructure Projects Part 2 of 2

Speakers: Yoothawee Haempun

Synopsis

Buildings are designed for people. Understand how pedestrian simulation helps to pre-examine an infrastructure’s performance and functionality during the design process. See examples of how enhanced pedestrian flow capabilities in LEGION Simulator can improve any infrastructure’s design and pedestrian experience and safety. 

The webinar will also discuss how the contextual changes over the years of operation, like social distancing due to COVID-19, can be incorporated into the design using pedestrian simulation for rail/metro projects, air industry, commercial projects and stadiums.

You will learn about:

• The concept of people flow analysis
• The movement algorithm that explains how pedestrian simulation can reflect the behaviour of real people
• How LEGION Simulator relates to BIM applications including OpenBuildings Designer
• How pedestrian simulation can help project owners make informed decisions, minimizing investment cost while maximizing the functionality and service lifespan of the infrastructure
