4.0

Version 4.0 introduces a new evacuation module with special features and emergency behaviour. Occup-tants react realistically to hazards like fires and explosions and choose emergency exits respectively. In addition, 4.0 offers new standard airport operational objects, pedestrian handicaps and accessories, Uni-code compliance and an improved drawing board.

OneofthekeyfeaturesnowavailableinSimWalk4.0. is thecapability toprovideUnicode®sup-port for files and folders aswell as for projectdescriptions, levels, runs, waypoints, profiles,objects, vehicles, formations, descriptions andcomments.

SimWalk now supports Arabic, Japanese,Chinese, Cyrillic, Central & Western Europe,HebrewandGreek.

The Unicode® standard is a character codingsystemdesignedtosupporttheworldwideinter-change, processing and display of texts of thediverse languages of the world. The databaseandXMLfilessupporttheUTF-8multibytechar-acterencodingstandard.

6) Powerful 3D Tool Kit

To improve realistic simulation dynamics,SimWalk 4.0 now supports to subdivide plat-forms, boarding gates, etc. into several areaswherepassengersarewaitingontheirtranspor-tation.

This allows to assign a group of passengerseithertoasectorortoaplatformofthedesiredtransportformation.TheAgentsPlanBuilderwillthen build the plan as specifiedwith randomlydistributed agents inside the transfer area orvehiclesrespectively.
