Methods, systems, and media for simulating movement data of pedestrians in a district

A system for pedestrian movement simulation in districts, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor that is configured to:
• receives a district plan for a proposed district;
• determines a number of users that would populate a building in the proposed district;
• generates a population of simulated users based on the determined number of users that would populate the building in the proposed district;
• assigns, for the population of simulated users in the building, groups of simulated users in the population of simulated users to a movement category from a plurality of movement categories;
• distributes, for the groups of simulated users assigned to each of the plurality of movement categories, a group of simulated users to a first destination within the proposed district that satisfies the movement category by determining a probable walking path from the building to the first destination;
• in response to determining that the first destination within the proposed district has reached a first capacity threshold, distributes remaining users from the group of simulated users to a second destination within the proposed district that satisfies the movement category until at least one of the remaining users in the movement category has been distributed and the second destination within the proposed district has reached a second capacity threshold;
• distributes, for the groups of simulated users assigned to each of the plurality of movement categories, trips having the probable walking path of the group of simulated users over time by applying a distribution function to each of the plurality of movement categories;
• and
• causes a map representation of the proposed district to be presented, wherein the map representation highlights each of the trips having the probable walking path distributed over time to indicate predicted levels of congestion at a particular time in the proposed district.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for pedestrian movement simulation in districts, the method comprising:

• receiving a district plan for a proposed district;
• determining a number of users that would populate a building in the proposed district;
• generating a population of simulated users based on the determined number of users that would populate the building in the proposed district;
• assigning, for the population of simulated users in the building, groups of simulated users in the population of simulated users to a movement category from a plurality of movement categories;
• distributing, for the groups of simulated users assigned to each of the plurality of movement categories, a group of simulated users to a first destination within the proposed district that satisfies the movement category by determining a probable walking path from the building to the first destination;
• in response to determining that the first destination within the proposed district has reached a first capacity threshold, distributing remaining users from the group of simulated users to a second destination within the proposed district that satisfies the movement category until at least one of the remaining users in the movement category has been distributed and the second destination within the proposed district has reached a second capacity threshold;
• distributing, for the groups of simulated users assigned to each of the plurality of movement categories, trips having the probable walking path of the group of simulated users over time by applying a distribution function to each of the plurality of movement categories;
• and
• causing a map representation of the proposed district to be presented, wherein the map representation highlights each of the trips having the probable walking path distributed over time to indicate predicted levels of congestion at a particular time in the proposed district.
