Upgraded emergency simulations

    • Easier planning for emergency evacuations from buildings, with the new RSET feature that visualizes evacuation times spatially

  • Plan safer places during pandemics

    • Measured distance between pedestrians can be used for health-tracking apps simulation
    • ID and body temperature of nearest pedestrian can be tracked

Attribute modifications & optimization

    • Attributes of pedestrians can be changed during the simulation, regardless of their location and condition
    • Access route attributes through formula-based route decisions

  • Better simulation

    • Improved method for selection of stairs along a pedestrian’s route
    • Up to 25% faster simulation speed

  • Upgraded modelling experience
