Passenger Crowd Simulation and Design Optimization on Passenger Dedicated Railway Station of China

It is very important to estimate the efficiency and safety of passenger crowd under different circumstances of railway station. Passenger simulation is one of the most effect methods to planning and design of such traffic systems, especially for bus-like operation mood. This paper first investigates the fundamental characteristics of passenger behavior of Passenger Dedicated Railway Line (PDL) in China. Then it develops a microscopic simulation model of passenger mustering and evacuating including time plan, route plan and activity plan. It also set up the model of pedestrian behavior. At last, a case study is presented according to the first PDL Beijing-Tianjin in China. It finds that passenger moving has some basic rules under different facilities, and their behavior can be affected by designs. We conclude that the proposed model suffices to simulating complex situations and is worth for practical purpose.
