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:
- On the Data Profiles worksheet, in the first cell of a new row, select Population Profile from the drop-down list.
- In the next cell along, enter a name in the column labelled ‘Profile name’
- In the next cell along, select an ‘Origin name’ from the drop-down list or type in your own.
- In the next cell along, select a ‘Supply/Entity Type’ from the drop-down list.
- In the next cell along, select a ‘Destination’ from the drop-down list, or type in your own.
- In the cell that corresponds to the 'Input' column, enter the number of Entities you require for the population of the Evacuation Zone.
