Analyzing Areas of the Building Using the Most Popular Paths Analysis
To analyze different areas of the building using the Most Popular Paths analysis, follow these steps:
1. In the Analysis box, in the Type drop-down list, choose Most Popular Paths.
2. Click the black inverted triangle next to the Advanced option to configure the number of paths that you
want to include in the analysis.
a. In the Number of Paths text box, enter the number of paths that you want to display in the analysis
results.
b. From the Method drop-down list, choose the method that you want to represent the paths before you
select the most popular path. The possible values are Markers and Actual.
3. From the Building drop-down list, select the building for which you want to conduct this analysis.
4. In the Rules box, apply the parameterized rules to your analysis.
5. Click Run.
6. Click 3D Analytics to view the results in a 3D environment or 2D to view the results in a 2D environment.
The Most Popular Path analysis presents a set of paths taken and the parameters associated with them in the
right pane.
Alternative Path Analysis
Alternative Path analysis allows you to determine the device flow between different points in the building. This
analysis helps you to understand the different paths that people take while leaving one point to go to another
point. This analysis allows you to set up arbitrary areas and estimate the time it takes to move between those
areas. This analysis starts by identifying all paths passing within a certain radius of a circle whose center is the
source point.
Alternative Path analysis is available only in a 2D environment.
