Optimizing and evaluating the equipment layout of rail transit station hall based on AnyLogic

In view of the current situation that the layout of station hall structure and facilities of urban rail transit stations cannot meet the demand of increasing passenger flow organization in the later stage, especially the old station. According to the station structure, equipment layout and passenger flow distribution characteristics, this paper clarifie the research idea of simulation-analysis-optimization-evaluation and carried out the simulation analysis of Zongguan station of Wuhan Rail Transit Line 1 by using Anylogic. Based on the passenger flow distribution density and other simulation results, the optimization scheme of equipment layout was put forward, and the quantitative evaluation system was designed to comprehensively evaluate the improvement effect of the optimization scheme on the station congestion and streamline smoothness. The research results show that the optimization ideas and methods proposed in this paper are feasible and effective. After the optimization, the utilization rate of the station area has been improved and the transfer bottleneck has been eliminated. Meanwhile, the passenger flow crossing in the station hall has been significantly reduced, the congestion in the station has been effectively relieved, and the smoothness of the streamline has been significantly improved. It has certain guiding significance for the layout optimization of the old stations of the early rail transit lines. © 2020, Central South University Press. All rights reserved.
