Pedestrian Scramble

Pedestrian Scramble (2.0.0)

This is a model intended to demonstrate the function of scramble crossings and a more efficient flow of pedestrian traffic with the presence of diagonal crosswalks.

Release Notes

v2.0.0 serves as the full release of the Pedestrian Scramble model. This expands on v1.0.0 of the model by addressing a few major items from the “EXTENDING THE MODEL” section in the narrative documentation, like the ability for agents to change between walking types and the presence of intermediate travelling when the diagonals are enabled. While I do list one more way to extend the model further, your input on other ways to improve is much appreciated!
