Pedestrian Library blocks

Blocks contained in the  Pedestrian Library palette are the building blocks you will use to construct your flowcharts. As usual, you have blocks that generate pedestrians, control pedestrian flow, process pedestrians.

	PedSource	Generates pedestrians. Is usually used as the starting point of the pedestrian flow.
	PedSink	Disposes of pedestrians. Is usually used as the end point of the pedestrian flow.
	PedGoTo	Causes pedestrians to go to the specified target.
	PedService	Simulates how pedestrians are serviced in services.
	PedWait	Causes pedestrians to wait for a specified time in a specified location.
	PedSelectOutput	Routes the incoming pedestrians to one of the five output ports depending on specified ratios or conditions.
	PedEnter	Places pedestrians into the simulated environment.
	PedExit	Removes pedestrians from the simulated environment.

The following blocks work with the levels of the model:

	PedEscalator	Simulates how pedestrians are transported by an escalator.
	PedElevator	Simulates how pedestrians are transported by an elevator (lift).
	PedChangeLevel	Moves pedestrians to a different level.

The following blocks handle the behavior of pedestrians in groups:

	PedGroupAssemble	Organizes groups from sequence of pedestrians on input port. Also used to reassemble groups which have been split by blocks which don’t support groups: pedestrians wait in the given area and leave it in their original group when the whole group arrives.
	PedGroupChangeFormation	Causes group to change its form to a specified one when group leader passes this block.
	PedGroupDisassemble	When group leader enters this block, group dissolves, so pedestrians become independent from each other and follow their personal paths.
	PedSettings	Allows adjusting general parameters related to all Pedestrian Library blocks in the model.

The following block is considered deprecated, starting with AnyLogic version 8.7:

PedAreaDescriptor

Defines rules and/or restrictions on pedestrian speed for pedestrian area. Allows to modify pedestrians speed and define maximum speed. You can use this feature to simulate stairs.
