Creating Population Profiles Manually

Population Profiles enable you to specify how many Entities, and which type of Entities, occupy Populated Zones or Evacuation Zones at the start of a model's run time. You can create them automatically from your OD Matrix by using the Data Template. You can also create them manually on the Data Profiles worksheet.

To Create a Population Profile Manually:

  1. On the Data Profiles worksheet, in the first cell of a new row, select Population Profile from the drop-down list.
  2. In the next cell along, enter a name in the column labelled ‘Profile name’
  3. In the next cell along, select an ‘Origin name’ from the drop-down list or type in your own.
    Note: You will receive a warning message if you enter origin or destination names that do not appear in the OD matrix but you can still import the data into LEGION Model Builder.
  4. In the next cell along, select a ‘Supply/Entity Type’ from the drop-down list.
  5. In the next cell along, select a ‘Destination’ from the drop-down list, or type in your own.
  6. In the cell that corresponds to the 'Input' column, enter the number of Entities you require for the population of the Evacuation Zone.
