To set Additional Parameters:

1. If you want to set (or modify) the Entity facing direction, check the box labelled ‘Apply facing direction’ and enter a value for ‘degrees’ and a margin of tolerance (of 5 or 10 degrees) in the box labelled ‘+/- degrees’.
2. If you would like your Entities to change their waiting behaviour to respond to certain environmental conditions, you can specify 'Entity Special Behaviour':
   Warning: Use behaviour modification options with caution. In most cases the options should only be used to influence sub-sets of Entities within discrete areas of a model and where a model without the modification has shown anomalous behaviour.
   • None - no special behaviour is applied to Entities

     Entity Environment

   • Vehicle (carriages, buses, lifts and other vehicles)
     • Diffusing
       • Removes Entity synchronisation and reduces priority of Entities and encourages an even dispersion inside the zone.
       • Use it to encourage Entities to disperse evenly within a crowded space, such as a train carriage or lift.
     • Waiting
       • Reduces priority of Entities further so that all other Entities can move past them. It also removes Entity synchronisation.
       • Use it to encourage waiting or delayed Entities to reposition themselves to allow other Entities to move past them. Useful in train carriages and lifts.
   • Platform (rail and metro; areas in front of lifts, buses and other vehicles)
     • Removes Entity synchronisation and modifies Discomfort and Frustration parameters.
     • Use it to encourage waiting or delayed Entities to reposition themselves to allow other Entities to move past them. Useful on crowded platforms and similar contexts.
