Analysis metrics

The following metrics are available (availability depends on the Analysis Objects you place and - if analysing a LEGION Simulation Results File - whether you selected the bespoke LEGION metrics within LEGION Simulator):

Count Inside – the number of Entities inside an area.
Egress – the number of Entities exiting an area.
Ingress – the number of Entities entering an area
SpaceDensity–the size of an area divided by the number of Entities within it.
Distance – Analysis Zone (distance travelled within the zone); two lines (distance travelled from one line to the next); one line (distance between an Entity’s entrance into the model and the moment they reach the line).
EntityCount/Flow Rate – the number of Entities crossing a line.
EntityDensity – the density perceived by Entities within an area (the eventual figure is an average of the perceived density of all Entities within a zone).
Journey Time – the time taken for one or more Entities to cross two lines, one after the other, or to cross an area defined by an Analysis Zone.
NormalisedFlow – the number of Entities crossing a line averaged over time and divided by the length of the line.
Speed – the speed of Entities crossing a line.

Note: Space Density is potentially misleading because it is sensitive to the area over which it is computed but insensitive to distribution patterns within the space. The metric Entity Density is more accurate as it captures individual Entity density at all times.

Tip: You can switch on 'Automated Flow Rate for Stairs and Escalators' to save time during analyses. See Automated flow-rate analyses for Stair and Escalator objects .
