JuPedSim's modules

JuPedSim comes with three loosely coupled modules:

1. JPScore: The simulation core
2. JPSvis: Geometry and trajectories visualization tool
3. JPSreport: Implementation of different measurement methods to evaluate out of trajectories the density, the velocity and the flow.

All three modules are configured by means of xml-files. For the time being JuPedSim does not come yet with a GUI to control the flow of the work.

Requirements

1. CMake
2. g++ or clang
3. for JPSvis additionally Qt and VTK are needed.

Installation

For all three modules the compilation is fairly straightforward:

• Create a new directory and change to it

mkdir build && cd build

• Run CMake to build the project

cmake .. 

(dot dot is not a typo)

• Compile the project

make -jN

(N is the number of your CPUs)

• If the compilation succeeded run a simulation using one of the ini files in initfiles/ For example:

./bin/jpscore inputfiles/Bottleneck/1.1_ini-Bottleneck.xml

Using an IDE

In principle CMake produces a project file for different IDE's. JPScore was tested successfully with Eclipse and CLion. Since CLion supports CMake build system and uses it as a project model, we recommend using it with JPScore.
