Legion

Legion was created to understand how people interact with infrastructure and to simulate improved ways of making their experiences better and safer. Year after year, scientists, designers, engineers, architects and business managers have worked hard to improve, calibrate and validate tools that can help users in different areas. Users from sectors as diverse as rail, airports, maritime, events and urban helm, working in all levels of their industries, such as operators, regulators and the supply chain, find on Legion the same common ground, the focus on their final clients, being them passengers, pedestrians or fans attending to a football match.

In our early years we concentrated exclusively on research and development: collecting data from around the world to understand different characteristics. In May 2003 Legion began to license software directly to customers. Several major releases later, Legion SpaceWorks has established itself as the leading software package used by the world's most prestigious infrastructure owners and engineering consultancies.

Our software accurately simulates and analyses the step-by-step movement of pedestrians across all kinds of public facilities, such as:

•              Rail and metro stations and bus terminals

•              Airports and sea ports

•              Sport, entertainment and leisure venues

•              Commercial and public buildings

•              Major international events (eg. Olympic games)

•              City streets (including interaction with vehicles)

The ultimate goal of a Legion project is to optimise the flow of people and the efficient use of physical space: a goal that has a dramatic impact on costs and revenues associated public facilities as well as safety and the quality of service for clients.
