LEGION Simulator CONNECT Edition (v10.00.00.84)

The OpenBuildings product team is pleased to announce the release of LEGION Simulator CONNECT Edition (v10.00.00.84) through the Bentley CONNECT Center, Software Downloads portal. LEGION Simulator calculates pedestrian movement scenarios based on input defined in LEGION Model Builder and provides review analysis with position, map, graph and data output giving insight into space use, pedestrian comfort and experience, travel times, venue operation and social cost. Please refer to the "Highlights" section below for enhancements to the product.

What's New Highlights for LEGION CONNECT Edition (v10.00.00.84)

 • Enhanced Scenario management

In previous versions of LEGION Model Builder, the Scenario Manager allowed batch creation of scaled versions of Profiles (e.g. Arrival or Event Profiles) but had the limitation that if the base profiles changed the scaled versions were not updated accordingly. Scenario management has been improved in LEGION Model Builder CONNECT Edition, with automatic update of scaled Profiles when base Profiles are modified. Using scaling to create new Profiles which are then detached from the corresponding base Profiles is still possible.

 • Ability to apply Filters during Map recording

LEGION Simulator CONNECT Edition brings the ability to record maps capturing only entities matching specific Filter criteria. This can be helpful in a variety of situations. For instance, it enables recording of alighters while ignoring boarders to create maps showing platform clearance times, or to record only queueing Entities when studying the spatial and temporal extent of queues.

 • Formal queue for Gate Objects

In previous versions of LEGION, Entities approaching a Gate would form a ‘relaxed’ funnel-shaped queue pattern under high demand. In LEGION CONNECT Edition, there is an additional queuing behavior option, which organizes Entities into a formal queue before the Gate.

 • Waiting Zone capacity

Waiting Zones now have a capacity parameter like Delay Points. Once maximum capacity is reached, Entities heading to that Waiting Zone must wait until some of the occupying Entities depart.   

 • Improved speed profiles

LEGION CONNECT Edition revises some existing Simulator speed profiles to improve the precision of profiles created from noisy data sets. At the same time, we have made improvements whereby Entity attributes such as gender can affect the speed profile assigned to each Entity.

LEGION Model Builder CONNECT Edition (v10.00.00.84)

Please note that LEGION Model Builder CONNECT Edition (v10.00.00.84) is available as a companion application with OpenBuildings Station Designer (optional installation; license included with OpenBuildings Station Designer).  It can easily be included as part of any deployment of OpenBuildings Station Designer. LEGION Model Builder allows you to create pedestrian simulation scenarios by defining spaces, activities in spaces and characteristics of people movement to be used as input to LEGION Simulator (optional installation; license not included with OpenBuildings Station Designer). Activities include but are not limited to definition of arrival points, destinations, waiting zones, service points, queuing behaviors, evacuation behaviors, stairs and escalators.
