LEGION WAS FOUNDED IN 1997

Legion is the leader and true pioneer in the field of pedestrian simulation technology offering the only solution based on real measurements of real people around the world and is the only truly validated model available today. This has been Legion's focus since day one.

In the early years, Legion focused exclusively on research and development, collecting data from around the world; developing and refining the algorithms; and building the software. Since 1999, Legion has shot and captured over 1,000 hours of video footage and collected more than 8 million movements of pedestrians. Our scientific research is ongoing, which means that our collection of simulations and results continue to be the largest ever undertaken in the field.

In May 2003, Legion began to license software directly to customers. Four major releases later, Legion Studio 2006 has established itself as the market leading software package of the world’s most prestigious infrastructure owners and engineering consultancies.

Legion Pedestrian simulation.

Legion's core pedestrian simulation products are Legion Studio 2006 and its accompanying software, Legion 3D 2006 & Legion Viewer. Legion in partnership with TSS offers Legion for Aimsun an integrated pedestrian and vehicle simulation tool. Legion software tools are used worldwide to optimise the design and operation of public spaces. Such spaces typically include:

• rail and transit facilities
• sport, entertainment and leisure venues
• shopping centers
• commercial and public buildings
• and venues for major international events like the Olympics.

Legion software is used over half of the top 20 global tranist 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.

From London to Paris, New York to Boston, in China, Hong Kong and Australia, major organizations across the world are using Legion Simulation software to help with their projects. Legion has been used in 100s of projects around the world. And once our customers start using Legion software they find ways to use Legion over and over again.

Legion’s patented technology accurately simulates and analyses the step-by-step movement of pedestrians across all kinds of public facilities. The ultimate goal is to optimise the flow of people and the efficient use of physical space: a goal that can have a dramatic impact on costs and revenues associated public facilities. 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.
