LEGION System Entity Speeds, Sizes & Luggage Sizes


Correct as of Tuesday, the 7th of September, 2021.

Entity Speeds

Bentley Systems measured pedestrians first-hand to make the system entity speed profiles available in LEGION software.  So, their precise definitions are confidential.  However, the minimum, mean and maximum preferred speeds on flat ground of each category are in the table below.

Speeds in metres per
second to two decimal places.
