Embracing Pedestrian Simulation to

Enhance Social Distancing

Social distancing is the need of the hour

With social distancing and crowd

management at the forefront of global

6 feet
concerns, health organizations are setting a

minimum distance between all human

interactions of 6 feet

This measure is currently a part of the public

health guidelines to reduce the probability

of COVID-19 transmission

The vital importance of social distancing

How limiting social contact can reduce the spread of corona virus.*

Normal behavior In 5 days In 30 days

1 person infects 2.5 people 406 people

50% less contact

1 person infects 1.25 people 15 people

75% less contact

1 person infects 0.625 people 2.5 people

Are you equipped with the right technology to build

fit-for-purpose infrastructure to design new and

retrofit public spaces that meet social distancing

requirements?

Bentley's LEGION Simulator is a companion application with OpenBuildings

Station Designer (multi-discipline rail station design software) that enables people

movement simulation to analyze building performance for design improvements. It

replicates space and activities in simulations that support people behavior

visualization for a broad range of infrastructure assets that include:

Rail & Metro Airports Stadiums Retail & Commercial

Stations Complexes

CUSTOMER SPEAK

“Atkins has collaborated successfully with LEGION for over 20 years

and we look forward to building upon our own thought leadership

on Covid-19 and for the Transport Sector by applying LEGION’s

simulations for social distancing in response to requests by our

metro clients in Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and Saudi

Arabia.” Cameron MacDonald, Technical Director, Operations

Advisory, Atkins Global, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group.
