Event Planning
Pathfinder is able to model how attendees enter, move through, and exit a venue. The ability to simulate diverse pedestrian demographics, admissions configurations, and import existing CAD models makes it an essential tool for creating safer, more efficient environments for concerts, sports events, conventions, and other large gatherings.
Efficient admissions configurations
Pathfinder's ability to model queues is especially valuable for modeling admissions flows involving ticket booths, security checkpoints, and other entry scenarios.
With Pathfinder's agent-based modeling, each pedestrian follows realistic queue behavior, making it easy to test how different configurations, such as the number of booths or checkpoint spacing, affect wait times and guest experience. This helps planners evaluate various layouts and identify the most efficient, safe, and comfortable admissions flow for high-traffic events.
Pedestrian demographics
Flexible agent characteristic tools make it easy to model pedestrian demographics in Pathfinder, supporting detailed physical characteristics for different groups.
By assigning appropriate characteristics across a population, users can represent a wide range of people, from children to elderly individuals and including people with mobility differences, making it possible to assess how demographic diversity impacts crowd flow, congestion, and evacuation efficiency. This helps planners create safer, more inclusive environments tailored to real-world populations.
Dynamic and environmental decision-making
Model human behaviors like spontaneous shopping decisions, responding to staff instructions, or rerouting due to emergencies.
By simulating these real-time reactions, event planners can better anticipate how guests will behave under changing conditions, leading to more thoughtful layouts and safer, more resilient event operations.
Easily import existing CAD
The ability to import existing CAD files allows event planners to quickly bring detailed venue layouts directly into the simulation environment.
Every element from entry gates and seating areas to vendor booths and emergency exits can be realistically rendered for realistic crowd flow analysis. With this powerful capability, event planners can visualize how attendees navigate the space in real life.
