What We Do

Legion is the company behind the leading pedestrian simulation software, Studio 2006 and its accompanying animation software, Legion 3D 2006. Both are used worldwide to optimise the design and operation of public spaces. Such spaces typically include: transport terminals; sport, entertainment and leisure venues; shopping centres; commercial and public buildings; and venues for major international events like the Olympics.

Our global portfolio includes key organisations in the fields of transport, major events, sports, urban development and government. Legion software is used by many of the leading rail and transit agencies and has been deployed for each Olympic Games from Sydney 2000 right up to London 2012. Legion simulations are also used in many urban developments around the world. Designers, planners, engineers and asset managers have used Legion software and services to evaluate and optimise public spaces in improving safety, efficiency and profitability.

Legion customers benefit greatly from the fully validated analyses and visualisations that our software produces. These outputs are used to attain considerable economic benefits for facilities and programmes. Additionally, Legion software and services can improve the efficiency of projects; streamline the decision making process; ensure security; improve risk management and enhance profitability. And all this is achieved with the optimal pedestrian experience in mind.

Our patented simulation technology is the result of many years’ inter-disciplinary research into pedestrian behaviour. The accuracy of our simulations has been independently tested against real-world data resulting in endorsements by, among others: Crossrail, London Fire Brigade, London Underground and Santiago Metro.

Our people bring a wealth of experience from business; architecture; engineering; transport planning; operational research; and software development; all of which is reflected in the quality of our products and advice.
