JuPedSim: JuPedSim v0.6

We are proud to announce the second release of JuPedSim, a tool for simulating pedestrians evacuations. Three modules are shipped with this release:

• JPScore: command line simulation core
• JPSvis: visualization module
• JPSreport: reporting tool

Here are the noteworthy features, please consult the documentation and our YouTube channel for the complete set.

New features New module (JPSreport)

• New module for analysing trajectories and generating different kind of plots including time series, Voronoi densities, profiles, fundamental diagrams.

JPScore

• Steering the simulation with predefined events (closing or opening doors during the simulation)
• Information sharing between the pedestrians. The agents now share their knowledge about closed doors.
• Pre evacuation time for groups of agents.
• Adjustable velocities on stairs and even terrain for group of agents.
• Stability and performance improvement. The simulation is approx 40% faster for larger scenarios and you will notice it
• New route choice model, cognitive map, giving agents the possibility to explore the environment and discover doors for instance.
• Different sensors for improving the navigation of pedestrians (smoke/jam sensor).
• New verification and validation tests.
• General statistics over the evacuation (for instance areas egress time and door usage)
• Support for Visual Studio and Xcode compilers.

JPSvis

• Saving and restoring settings from previous session.
• Making high quality videos directly from the visualization interface or generating png sequences
• Performance improvement

Showcase

To highlight some features of JuPedSim we have uploaded some videos on our YouTube channel.

Additional infos

Additional information on the build procedure or installation for different IDEs and platforms are found : here for jpscore here for jpsreport

Basic Usage

Running

>> jpscore.exe simulation_ini.xml

from the command line (or also dropping the file on the executable) will generate a trajectory file, which you can visualize with JPSvis.

Running

>> jpsreort.exe report_ini.xml

Don't forget to have a look at the demos folder for more examples.
