PedVis – Pedestrian Flow Visualizations.

More and more people are using public transport. The Swiss Federal
Railways (SBB) are expanding their railway stations and redesigning them so that
all passengers will in future still reach their destinations safely and quickly. In this
context, the depiction, planning and simulation of people flows (customer flows,
movement patterns) are of increasing importance. This project will open up new
access points in this field. Starting with seven topical clusters, different aspects of
people flowswill be analysed and depicted anew, based on a comprehensive collection
of images. The prototypes for new visualisations developed from this have been
validated using aDelphi survey of expert opinions and tested for their future potential.
The SBB have been presented with a catalogue of recommendations with all the
visualisation models, and a practice manual will be developed during the last phase
of the project.
