Pedestrian supports functions that are sufficient for the Pedestrian Library blocks to handle and animate it. You can extend that functionality by creating a custom pedestrian type and defining any functions, parameters, and statecharts defining the pedestrian behavior on the diagram of the pedestrian type. You will be able to simply access these fields by specifying your pedestrian type in the Pedestrian type property of Pedestrian Library blocks.

Every pedestrian provides the following API for working with it programmatically at the model runtime.

General information

Function	Description
int getId()	Returns the unique identifier for the pedestrian. Returns -1 if pedestrian has not yet been added to the pedestrian model environment.
PedGroup getGroup()	Returns the group this pedestrian belongs to, or null if this pedestrian isn’t a part of a group.

Coordinates

Function	Description
double getX()	Returns the X-coordinate of this pedestrian in the model, in pixels.
double getY()	Returns the Y-coordinate of this pedestrian in the model, in pixels.
double getZ()	Returns the Z-coordinate of this pedestrian in the model, in pixels.
double getTargetX()	Returns the X-coordinate of the target of this pedestrian, in pixels.
double getTargetY()	Returns the Y-coordinate of the target of this pedestrian, in pixels.
double getTargetZ()	Returns the Z-coordinate of the target of this pedestrian, in pixels.

Speed

Function	Description
double getSpeed()	Returns the current speed of this pedestrian, in meters per second.
double getSpeed(SpeedUnits units)	Returns the current speed of this pedestrian, in specified speed units. units — a constant defining the speed units.
double getComfortableSpeed()	Returns the comfortable speed for the movement of this pedestrian, in meters per second.
double getComfortableSpeed(SpeedUnits units)	Returns the comfortable speed for the movement of this pedestrian, in specified speed units. units — a constant defining the speed units.
void setComfortableSpeed(double comfortableSpeed)	Sets the new comfortable speed for the movement of this pedestrian, in meters per second. comfortableSpeed — the new value of the pedestrian’s comfortable speed in meters per second
void setComfortableSpeed(double comfortableSpeed, SpeedUnits units)	Sets the new comfortable speed for the movement of this pedestrian, in specified speed units. comfortableSpeed — the new value of the pedestrian’s comfortable speed units — a constant defining the speed units.

Size

Function	Description
double getDiameter()	Returns diameter of the pedestrian, in meters.
double getDiameter(LengthUnits units)	Returns diameter of the pedestrian, in specified length units. units — a constant defining the length units.
double getRadius()	Returns radius of the pedestrian, in meters.
double getRadius(LengthUnits units)	Returns radius of the pedestrian, in specified length units. units — a constant defining the length units.
void setDiameter(double diameter)	Sets new diameter of the pedestrian, in meters. diameter — new diameter value
void setDiameter(double diameter, LengthUnits units)	Sets new diameter of the pedestrian, in specified length units. diameter — new diameter value units — a constant defining the length units.
void setRadius(double radius)	Sets new radius of the pedestrian, in meters. radius — new radius value
void setRadius(double radius, LengthUnits units)	Sets new radius of the pedestrian, in specified length units. radius — new radius value units — a constant defining the length units.

Location

Function	Description
Level getLevel()	Returns current level where the pedestrian is located.
