Verif.2.7: Elevator usage

1. Definition

Two rooms lie on different floors, 3.5 m apart, and are joined only by an elevator. One occupant with an unimpeded walking speed of 1 m/s and no response time starts in room 2. The elevator starts at room 1, travels to room 2, picks up the occupant and returns to room 1, where the occupant leaves through a 1 m exit. The tester defines the elevator’s kinematics.

2. Scenario

Scenario picture not available.

3. What to expect

The occupant first enters the elevator in room 2, is then discharged in room 1, and reaches the exit of room 1. A model without an elevator sub-model should document this limitation.

Our criterion: Agents evacuate via elevator

Needs an elevator component.

4. Our result

Status: PENDING

No measured values: this test is not covered yet.

5. Our implementation

Deviations from the standard:

• Not implemented: JuPedSim has no elevator component.

Model: not available in this run

• No test function for this row.
