WHEN TO APPLY LEGION PEDESTRIAN SIMULATION INTO YOUR PROJECT
Legion simulation solutions are well suited for various stages of your project:
Capital Planning
During the strategic planning or capital planning process is where, economically, the software, data and analysis can have the biggest impact by evaluating early in the process where you need to spend money and where you don’t, enabling you to maximize cost savings at the earliest stage.
Design phase:
During the design phase for a facility design or refurbishment, you can minimize design iterations or alternatives by analyzing and comparing potential designs before too much time has been spent on flushing out design options. This can help shorten the overall design phase by efficiently removing options with data and analysis. Additionally by evaluating a design, you can optimize the design now and avoid costly design changes downstream during the build out.
Construction Phasing:
Construction in transit, aviation, stadiums or rail stations as part of an upgrade to the infrastructure is a common occurrence. The agency wishes to maximize the available space for construction and material staging while remaining open to the public with minimal service interruptions. Maximizing the speed of construction while accommodating the pedestrian demand is a difficult balancing act. By modeling the proposed construction phasing plan the guess work is taken out of the process. Decisions regarding how much and where to close can be made with facts on what the outcome will be of the different construction staging and operations plans..
Daily Operations & Operations Planning:
Streamline daily operations by identifying more efficient designs or layouts which can drive better pedestrian flow without the need for added personnel or temporary barriers.
Compare and analyze various operational procedures and traffic demands to help a venue reach and maintain optimum operational efficiencies.
In the Sports Arena & Special Events situations, simulations can help to identify improvements to pedestrian flow without disrupting existing operations.
Train Operations: In the Train Sector, Legion Software can be used to manage various aspects of Train Operations which includes train car selection and fit out as well as assessment of timetable efficiency and performance optimization. At any stage of operations you can use Legion Simulation to assess and optimize your train schedules and train car capacities.
Safety and Security assessment:
Every rail & metro station, football stadium and airport requires an annual safety certificate.Commercial buildings need to test evacuation scenarios. Every major event needs to establish evacuation and contingency plans. Design, simulate and stress test safety measures in an efficient and timely manner. Simulate alternative evacuation scenarios where the key variables are modified so that you can see all results and eliminate the guess work.
Safety and security plans can be designed based on clear assessment of risk, calculated predictions thus removing a lot of the guess work and lowering the overall risk associated with security or safety issues.
Customer Feedback & Case Studies
“At Malaga Fire Brigade, we believe that advanced pedestrian simulation studies are increasingly vital to the design and safety of public spaces. We encouraged the use of Legion’s software in projects like La Rosaleda Stadium and the Malaga Courts of Justice and the results were so compelling that we would like to demand that such studies are conducted for all public buildings above a certain capacity. To this end, we have submitted a formal change to the fire regulations and we are currently waiting for official approval. ”
- Jose Cruz Romero Angulo, Chief Inspector, Malaga Fire Brigade
Legion Simulation focused on safety in relation to congestion during egress at Düsseldorf Arena.
Legion partner WSP recently used Legion Studio to model and analyze a major Egress Management Plan for the Rose Bowl Cricket Ground in England.
