Pedestrian modeling to ensure business continuity with public transit investment

像本特尔·肯尼迪这样的公司在建筑开发项目的设计和施工阶段通常会面临严峻的挑战。因此，最近开发了一套新的工具来支持这些项目的设计阶段。例如，建筑信息建模(BIM)软件使用3D实时面向对象的建筑建模，以最低的成本实现准确的项目。这项研究合作的重点将是定义一个先进的模型，代表渥太华市中心永明人寿金融大楼在拟议的轻轨交通系统建设期间和之后对行人的影响。要做到这一点，将使用我们现有框架的改进版本创建一个模型。必要的建筑属性将从众多平面图中提取，其他数据将从代表渥太华的Capital Transport Partners生成的几份报告中收集，并将由本特尔·肯尼迪专家提供。模拟将在Carleton的CD++软件中使用Cell-DEVS形式运行，模拟结果将被提取用于3D可视化和分析。

Companies like Bentall Kennedy usually face serious challenges during the design and construction phase of building development projects. Consequently, new sets of tools have been recently developed to support the design phase of these projects. For instance, Building Information Modeling (BIM) software uses a 3D real-time object-oriented building modeling to achieve accurate projects with minimized costs. This research collaboration will focus on the definition of an advanced model representing the pedestrian influence in the Sun Life Financial Building in downtown Ottawa, during and after the construction of the proposed Light-Rail Transit System. To do so, a model will be created using and improved version of our existing framework. The necessary building properties will be extracted from numerous floor plans and other data will be collected from several reports generated by Capital Transit Partners on behalf of the city of Ottawa and will be provided by Bentall Kennedy experts. The simulation will be running using the Cell-DEVS formalism in Carleton's CD++ software, and the results of the simulation will be extracted for 3D visualization and analysis.
