When designing new infrastructure such as a train stations, airport terminals, stadiums, and shopping malls more than ever designers need to understand the consequences of the design. Not only do we want to know upfront if the new building is safe, but we also want to know the commercial effects of infrastructural changes. PLATO assists the designer in gaining insight in these questions. Some of its features are:

• 2D and 3D visualization
• The ability to simulate individual behavior on a large scale level (e.g. 40,000 individuals in 1 simulation model)
• Use original building drawings (e.g. dxf, dwg) to create realistic simulation models
• Output monitors during simulation to achieve real-time insight

PLATO is using the Enterprise Dynamics® simulation engine which allows you to integrate pedestrian flows with other means of transportation.
