Representation Step 1.0: What customers (patients, staff, visitors) are moving through the facility? Step 1.0: What customers (patients, staff, visitors) are moving through the facility? n Step 2.0: Define the route sheets for the customer classes n Step 3.0: From-To Charts, Distance and Flow Matrices: P(i,j); D(i,j)

7
Design Issues n What are the fundamental design and performance variables involved in designing a circulation system? n How are these fundamental design (d), performance (p), and contextual (c) variables related? P=f(c,d)
8
What is Congestion? Congestion occurs mainly as a result of increased number of pedestrians and vehicles competing for the limited space of a corridor or roadway segment. Congestion occurs mainly as a result of increased number of pedestrians and vehicles competing for the limited space of a corridor or roadway segment.
9
Empirical Model n n The service rate (speed) decays within a corridor Since there is a finite amount of available space within each corridor, the density of pedestrians reaches an upper limit (jam density). Since there is a finite amount of available space within each corridor, the density of pedestrians reaches an upper limit (jam density).
