Welcome! Micro-PedSim is an innovative research tool for microscopic (multi-agents system) pedestrian traffic simulation. Micro-PedSim gives you the power to visualize and simulate pedestrian agents movement behavior microscopically. You can generate pedestrians either manually, through text file, or automatically, in randomly distributed or systematic way, specify the parameters, and doing some experiments with it. You can also calibrate the simulation in time and space. The output of the simulation can be shown in either real time simulation, in 2D visualization, path tracing, performance values which can be saved in files for your further analysis in MS Excel or Matlab.

This website is for the use of all people wishing to download and learn more about the Micro-PedSim, its technical capabilities and application areas. Micro-PedSim can be freely downloaded from this site.

Q1. What is Micro-PedSim?

Micro-PedSim is an innovative software tool for microscopic pedestrian traffic simulation. It simulates pedestrian movement based on force models. Every pedestrian in the model is treated as an individual and be seen in two dimensional space from above.

Q2. What can I do using Micro-PedSim?

Micro-PedSim is useful to perform computer experiment about behavior of pedestrians. It is a great research tools to study pedestrian behaviors. It gives links between microscopic level of behaviors and macroscopic level of pedestrian traffic analysis. Many practical applications can be derived from your own research using this software.
Check the user manual for more explanation how to use the software.

Q3. How can I know the concept behind this software?

The author of Micro-PedSim has provided his papers and dissertation that can also be downloaded for free of charge.

Q4. What platform of operating system the Micro-PedSim can run?

Micro-PedSim is available only for Windows 9x and above (including Windows 2000, Millennium, and XP).

Q5. What is the latest version?

Micro-PedSim Version 1.3 is the latest made by March 2003.

Q6. Is Micro-PedSim really for Free

Yes. The author do not charge you any cost. You can download, use and distribute the binary files. However, this is not open source software. The source files are not distributed.

Q7. Where can I find help to use Micro-PedSim?

There is no Help file for this current version, but you can read the user manual, or discuss with people in the research discussion group or contact the author.

Q8. How to Install Micro-PedSim 1.3?

1. Download SetUp.zip from Micro-PedSim page.
2. Unzip the SetUp.zip file into a temporary folder
3. Select Setup.exe and press enter or Double click
4. Follow the wizard setup until Finish.

Q9. Why do I found runtime-error : '13' Type mismatch when I run the simulation?

Micro - PedSim 1.3 has internationalization problem from people who use computer with regional setting other than English (e.g German, Dutch, etc.). Please try to change your regional setting of numbers in Control Panel to use point as decimal separation (e.g. 10,000.05 rather than 10.000,05). It will work properly again. I hope to get rid of that problem in the next version.
