Applying a User-defined Speed Profile

You may wish to create your own Speed Profile if:

None of the available Speed Profiles applies to your Entity Type.
You have a reliable data set from independent measurements.
You are carrying out ‘sensitivity testing’.

Note: To complete this procedure, you need to have imported user-defined Speed Profiles into your model using the Legion Data Template. You can, however, also create Speed Profiles in the Edit Data Profile dialog.

To apply a User-defined Speed Profile:

Follow the procedure Creating an Entity Type, as far as step 8.
Select the option User defined speed profile.
Select a Speed Profile from the drop-down list labelled 'Flat ground'. If you are happy for the software to automatically calculate the speed of Entities going up and down stairs, proceed to step 5.
If you have imported customised Speed Profiles for Entities going up and down stairs, check the following boxes and choose the correct profiles from the associated drop-down lists:
- Stairs up
- Stairs down
- Escalators up - checked by default, and should be unchecked if a custom speed for that aspect is not required. When off, the speed for that aspect will be inferred from the other selected Speed Profiles.
- Escalators down - checked by default, and should be unchecked if a custom speed for that aspect is not required. When off, the speed for that aspect will be inferred from the other selected Speed Profiles.
Click Apply or OK to save the Entity Type.
