How are the occupant's movement calculated?
"The distance maps are used by the program to direct the occupants to the closest available exit. The maps are calculated by the program before the simulation can start. Different distance maps (maximum 10), can be used with different exits being allowed for use by different occupants. This will allow the user to assign final destination exits to the occupants which are not necessarily the closest ones.
This is described in more detail in the section Multiple distance maps. "The algorithms for the movement of individuals are based on real-life data, collected by using computer-based techniques for the analysis of human movement, observed in real-life footage."
Further Information on occupants movements within Simulex can be found in the Simulex user guide.
