Short description of suggestion

JuPedSim allows us to define subrooms as "stairs" or "escalators". So far the escalator only influences an agent's speed, defined by the parameters

• v0_escalator_upstairs mu="0.5" sigma="0.0"/
• v0_escalator_downstairs mu="0.5" sigma="0.0"/

However, the direction of an escalator isn't considered in the routing. This mean that agents can take escalators in the wrong direction.

How to change this:

Talking to Arne and Mohcine, we figured out a way that could possibly work.

• class="escalator"

has to be further specified by:

• class="escalator_up"
• class="escalator_down"

After initializing the distance_matrix the distance value in the forbidden direction has to be changed to a very large value for each escalator. The subroom is then unlikely to be chosen.
