WSP Extends Modelling Capabilities with Legion
July 2007
Legion's consulting partner WSP was recently appointed by Stockholms Stad Exploateringskontoret (Stockholm City Exploration Office), in partnership with Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (Greater Stockholm Local Transport). Their brief was to develop a pedestrian model to assess the impact on pedestrians and public transport users of the proposed redevelopment of 'Slussen'.
Slussen is one of Stockholm's busiest and most complex public transport interchanges. It connects the northern and southern parts of the city and combines a bus station, metro station, several on-street bus stops, a railway station, and a number of commercial outlets across three different levels.
Using Legion Studio, WSP were able to demonstrate how the proposed design would work in reality and to illustrate, explain and influence key design choices. WSP's newletter, 'Solutions' commented on the project:

"The visual power of the software enabled the client to fully understand the impacts of developing Slussen Interchange and a further study to explore the optimum layouts has been requested. It is safe to say that, without LEGION the client could never be sure that their decisions would actually work in practice."
