Remove all unselected plans for the selected person. This operation can be found in the population editor (table view).

Remove network-specific information from a person’s plan. Removes the network route and the link information of activities. Open the population editor (table view) and select single or multiple persons.

Draw a population sample. Reduces your population and only keeps a predefined sample size. This operation can be found in the population editor (table view).

Clone the selected person(s). Optional: Blur activity locations or end-times, using different pre-defined distributions.

Edit individual plans. In the population editor (table view), open the plan editor to modify a person’s plan.

Add an activity to the plan.

Add a leg to the plan. A leg must be placed in between two activities.

Add a count station. Click on a link to place a count station on that link. You may add counts data and compare your simulated traffic volume with the counts data.
