The input of the design configuration has to give a similar impression as the drawing tools currently used in the design process. Also, integration is preferred with databases containing descriptions of designs and existing facilities in order to facilitate the input process and to reduce the number of possible mistakes during the total input process. Finally, the tool has to provide default values for key parameters, which may be changed by the user when needed. In order to verify outcomes of the simulations and to show designers and transport operators what happens during a simulation, a visualisation and animation of the various processes in the studied facility is desired.
Activities on the activity list may be performed at different locations. Activity area choice concerns the choice of optimal locations to perform an activity by individual pedestrians. Literature on the choice of activity locations in stations hardly exists. Some literature is found on related topics such as activity location choice in urban areas (Arentze & Timmermans 2004), (Borgers & Timmermans 1986a), (Helbing 1997), (Timmermans et al. 1992). 3. The last process at the tactical level is route choice between pedestrians’ origins, possible intermediate destinations, and their final destinations.
To our best knowledge, controlled experiments have been applied for the first time to gather data on pedestrian walking behaviour. In a laboratory environment, parameters influencing pedestrian walking behaviour have been investigated. Another contribution is the manual collection of data on pedestrian behaviour on a platform using hand-held computers. Cumulative flow curves (for the first time applied in pedestrian traffic flow analysis), describing observed densities on the platform (distributed over time and space) and corresponding levels-of-service have been used to compare with simulation results.
