LEGION Model Builder Help

Entity profiles worksheet

This optional worksheet enables you to name and define profiles to do with Entities: Speed profiles, Size profiles and Luggage size profiles. Size and Luggage profiles come in two forms labelled 'H' (for histogram) and 'D' (for distribution).When they are imported into LEGION Model Builder as data objects, they will be represented as histograms or distributions accordingly. You may not need to create any profiles here because you may be happy to use LEGION’s predefined speed, size and luggage profiles.

When you first open the worksheet, you will see a list of empty fields labelled 'Profile type' and 'Profile name'. Any profiles you create will be available for selection on the next worksheet page, ‘Entities’.

Note: All percentages must add up to 100%

To create a Speed Profile:

  1. From a 'Profile type' drop-down list select 'Speed'
  2. Enter a name for the profile in the empty cell labelled ‘Profile name’.
  3. To create a speed profile histogram, enter percentage values for Entities beneath the appropriate walking speeds (for example, beneath ‘0.6’ m/s, ‘0.9’ m/s, ‘1.2’ m/s, etc.).
  4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for any additional profiles you would like to create.

To create an Entity size Profile (histogram):

  1. From a the 'Profile type' drop-down list select 'Entity size (H)'
  2. Enter a name for the profile in the empty cell labelled ‘Name’.
  3. To create an Entity size profile histogram, enter percentage values beneath the appropriate sizes of Entity (diameter in metres).
  4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for any additional profiles you would like to create.

To create an Entity Size Profile (distribution):

  1. From a the 'Profile type' drop-down list select 'Entity size (D)'
  2. Enter a name for the profile in the empty cell labelled ‘Name’.
  3. To create a distribution of Entity sizes (diameter in metres) , enter values for 'Mean' and 'Standard deviation' in the appropriate cells.
  4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for any additional profiles you would like to create.

To create a Luggage size Profile (histogram):

  1. From a the 'Profile type' drop-down list select 'Luggage size (H)'
  2. Enter a name for the profile in the empty cell labelled ‘Name’.
  3. To create an Luggage size profile histogram, enter percentage values beneath the appropriate sizes of Entity size (area in square metres).
  4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for any additional profiles you would like to create.

To create a Luggage Size Profile (distribution):

  1. From a the 'Profile type' drop-down list select 'Luggage size (D)'
  2. Enter a name for the profile in the empty cell labelled ‘Name’.
  3. To create a distribution of Luggage sizes (area in square metres) , enter values for 'Mean' and 'Standard deviation' in the appropriate cells.
  4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for any additional profiles you would like to create.
