Myriad II Network Module
The Need For Crowd Networks
- It is often impossible to manually calculate the dynamic of a crowd moving through a complex geometry.
- The crowds will move along paths and streets. They will flow through and congregate in areas and concourses.
- These can all be joined to form a network, in which the crowd moves.
- We can now understand the crowd behaviour over time, using a Myriad II Network.
Network Set Up
- The Myriad Network consists of:
- Origins
- Junctions
- Destinations
- Links
- We think of Junctions as areas and links as streets.
- The crowd flow in each part of the network is calculated as the simulation runs
- Areas of congestion are then highlighted
Running the Network Simulation
- The clock shows the time that has passed in minutes
- Areas of congestion show up in colour, changing over the time the simulation is run
3D Mode - Visualisation
- The model can be viewed in 3D to give a better picture of the extent of the model
- This can be viewed during the simulation
Running the Network Simulation in 3D
- The clock shows the time that has passed in minutes
