Management software CAST Pedestrian

planningtestanalysis

CAST Pedestrian provides realistic models of train stations, stadiums or other public areas or buildings with high person flows. It enables decision support for planning, capacity analysis and optimization of the infrastructure and operational processes. CAST Pedestrian is used to determine staff and resource requirements, to guarantee the users the desired level of service and to avoid overcrowding by adequate flow management concepts. Using CAST Pedestrian provides decision makers maximum planning reliability at the earliest stage. Additionally, CAST Pedestrian allows to test several what-if scenarions to better understand and manage disrupted operations, which would be too critical to test in real-life. CAST PEDESTRIAN TAKES OUT THE RISK OF DECISION MAKING. NEW OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS OR ONE-TIME EVENTS CAN BE INVESTIGATED IN ADVANCE TO EFFICIENTLY CONDUCT ANALYSES AIMING AT: Validation of the planned operational concept Planning of optimal and balanced infrastructure Identifying bottlenecks and testing mitigation measures Analysis of Level of Service and ensuring highest user convenience Identification of the most effective and cost-efficient operational concept Testing of flow management concepts to avoid overcrowding Management of disruptive events and evacuation analysis Convincing stakeholders and training of future staff AREAS OF APPLICATION Areas of application generally include all situations when a high number of persons need to be handled or flow through an area of interest. Simulation is of particular interest, when the person flow is not continuous but all people cumulate around a certain time, e.g. the start of a football match.
