Modalities

Definition

A transportation modality refers to a particular mode of transportation, such as pedestrian, car, bus, train, and so on.

In VisioMapEditor, you can define multiple modalities to allow different transportation modes and user types.

Create a new modality

To create a new modality, select an edge and click on the   icon next to the modality dropdown.
Then, click on the Add new modality button and give your modality a name.

Attribute a modality

By default, your routing will have the Pedestrian modality selected. You can replace it or add a new modality by selecting an edge, and, using the dropdown menu and checkboxes, choose which modality to assign to the edge.

Accessible routing (PRM)

This feature is included in Visioglobe's SDK, and it is enabled by default.

• It can be activated on the final application.
• Once activated, it excludes escalators and stairs from the routes proposed to the user.
• If you want to exclude more elements, you can create additional tags and exclude them directly from VisioMapEditor, under Project settings, then App configuration, in PRM inaccessible routing attributes.
